He calls the 16-year-old footballer "black": his teammates leave the field in protest

The coach calls him "negretto" and his teammates, in protest, leave the field.
It happens in Busto Arsizio , in the province of Varese.
In the final stages of the football match of the Provincial Allievi between Gallarate and Cas Sacconago, the home team was leading 3-1 and very close to the end when, according to the Cas executives, the Gallarate coach would have addressed a player from the visiting team, a 16 year old of Moroccan origin, calling him "negretto".

A moment of tension ensued, as La Prealpina recounts, at the end of which the Gallaratese coach was sent off .

"At that point the game was decidedly taken to the background - explained Massimo Di Cello, Cas coach -. Our whole team, to show solidarity with our boy, decided to leave the field. We wanted to give a signal because we believe a lot bad what happened. We hope that the Federation will take action ".

Now, he continues, "we are only interested in having their coach apologize to our player. For now we have not received any apologies from anyone. We are not interested in possibly having the victory at the table, on the contrary if they awarded us the three points we would prefer not to accept them" .

"If someone has made a mistake - said the president of Gallarate, Gezim Elmazi - he will pay, but this will be established only by the referee's report and by the federal press releases. This is what counts for us. The rest leaves the time it finds".
