Portugal–Slovenia. On one side is the eternal champion Cristiano Ronaldoon the other hand the “human” example. Josip Ilicic. After a period away from the football pitch, the Slovenian returned to kicking the ball as he is best known due to depression. A commitment that also earned him a call up to the national team. However, someone decided to make fun of the Slovenian footballer. On Twitch, during the live broadcast of the game, Gialappa’s Band was involved with Enrique Balbontin. EDS? Some might say. We are talking about the comedian who became famous in Zelig with his character who gave “Savonese lessons”. The moment Ilicic enters the field, the game changes, in every sense.
What happened during the live broadcast
We’re halfway through the second extra period. Ilicic entered the playing field. Balbotin does not hesitate for a second and exclaims: «Come on Ilicic, it would be nice if after overcoming depression, he takes a penalty, loses it and commits suicide». An unwritten script that comes true: the player makes a mistake from the penalty spot. Balbontin and Gialappa’s can’t hold back their laughter as the frost falls in the studio. And the curtain should fall on this story too, perhaps with an apology. The excitement is another story.
Gambling on social media
«Gialappas thought they were changing football but I see that football has changed them.
How sad! What poverty!”, we read on Twitter or even “you should be ashamed”. There was no shortage of controversy. Many users have pointed out that this is not black humor or satire: it’s just bad taste for them .«Excuse me, you exaggerated this time», we read in the comments about the video sent by Luca Di Bartolomei.
