Another unbearable example of violence from a “supporter” towards an opposing player. A few days ago, a PSV Eindhoven supporter was sentenced to prison for hitting the Sevilla FC goalkeeper. To believe that this did not serve as an example since a new serious incident took place this Thursday during the Europa League Conference match between the Turks of Sivasspor and Fiorentina.
Large winner in Turkey (1-4), the Tuscan club qualified without trembling. We are talking about sport because for the rest, the Italians had a terrible evening. During the match, Florentine Alessandro Bianco was attacked by a Sivasspor supporter. The latter, with another Turk, entered the lawn. And passing in front of Bianco, gave him a cowardly and violent punch in the face. Bianco was left with a bloody nose and a bruised face.
In images taken by Fiorentina supporters, we see the Turkish aggressor being then caught by club security.
After the meeting, Vincenzo Italiano let his anger burst. “The punch against Bianco was shameful. He has a broken nose. It looked like a football party and this gesture ruins everything, including our victory. A 20-year-old boy who suffers from something like that is a stain”. Riza Calimbay, manager of Sivasspor, unreservedly condemned the events: “We are very sad about what happened at the end of the match. Nothing like this had ever happened in this stadium. »
The victim of this senseless attack and which necessarily calls for very heavy sanctions from Uefa against the Turkish club, was reassuring on social networks. Bianco posted a photo of himself with the mention Not bad “. But his nose with a blood-soaked cotton ball obviously indicates otherwise.
