Racist choirs in Florence, Koulibaly's face to face with a fan: "Did you say monkey to me?"
The player's outburst: "These people must be identified and kept out of the stadiums forever." The FIGC prosecutor opens an investigation
"Shit monkey. They called me that. These subjects have nothing to do with sport. They must be identified and kept out of the stadiums: forever ".
It is the tough outburst entrusted to Instagram by Kalidou Koulibaly, the Senegalese defender of Napoli who, at the end of the match played yesterday against Fiorentina, approached the curve that hosted the Franchi fans pointing the finger at those who had offended him.
When the teams left the field, in a match won by Napoli 2 to 1, the choirs also targeted striker Osimhen and midfielder Anguissa, also black.
But while the first two continued towards the changing rooms, shouting “go ahead”, Koulibaly stopped: “Did you say monkey to me? - the hard-nosed attack towards a fan - Come here and tell me if you have the courage ”.
"The purple club has firmly dissociated itself from the choirs and the racist offenses coming from the stands of the Franchi after Fiorentina-Napoli at the address of some opposing players", Fiorentina promptly made known, dissociating themselves from what was staged by the fans.
THE INVESTIGATION - In the meantime, the Football Federation's Prosecutor's Office, having acquired the reports of its inspectors and having listened to the player, has opened an investigation into the case.
In the next few hours, further investigative acts will be carried out, acquiring the relevant documents from the Florence police headquarters.
