Obi in action at the Garibaldi Arena
Post-match full of controversy, and with a sure future legacy, that of Pisa-Chievo, ended 2-2 with Gialloblù de Aglietti’s comeback completed in the 90s.
At 30, after a contrasting match, the Pisa midfielder Michele Marconi turned hard to yellow and blue Joel Obi, pronouncing, according to all the Chievo players (and Dazn’s audio seems to coincide with them) the phrase “The revolt of the slaves”, with a clear racist meaning.
Protests from the Gialloblù players, who in vain have asked the referee for an intervention.
At the end of the race the hard company press release: «The club expresses maximum solidarity with its player, the subject of a slanderous and devastating sentence, which has nothing to do with the most elementary and basic values of sport, ethics and respect. AC ChievoVerona strongly condemns and stigmatizes the racist behavior suffered by Joel Obi, and regrets that a sentence heard by the majority on the field was not followed by any disciplinary action: not the referee, not the assistant and fourth man, not the federal prosecutor. AC ChievoVerona, which has always been a strong defender of the values of ethics, respect and fair play, will continue to be at the forefront of the fight against any form of racism or violence, on and off the field of play.
Pisa then replied Clearly, with a particularly “aggressive” statement to the club in via Galvani: «Pisa Sporting Club distances itself from what was reported in the Chievo Verona company press release. The incriminated episode was not detected by the quaternary referee, nor by the Lega and Figc executives present on the sidelines, nor by the numerous television microphones present near the protagonists. Our cardholder, however, confirmed that he had not directed any offensive epithets at the opposing player, much less racial origin. The Pisa Sporting Club has always been active in the social field, collaborating in integration projects and helping the weakest groups, following the example of its followers known throughout Italy also for charitable initiatives and the fight against racism. The Pisa Sporting Club, for these reasons, does not accept behavior lessons from anyone, much less from those who have certainly not distinguished themselves in recent years for the values of ethics, fair play and respect for the basic rules of sport. ».
The investigation is ongoing in this regard. federal prosecutor from Figc.
