The controversies never end, not even after the championship has been won. Yesterday all the attention was on the Inter party with the open-top buses that took the Nerazzurri players to celebrate in the streets of the city together with thousands of fans. A very long procession through the streets of Milan that lasted over 7 hours and there was no shortage of moments that aroused controversy such as the banner held aloft by Dumfries.
Dumfries-Theo: the banner of controversy
The party for Inter’s 20th scudetto it ended up under the magnifying glass. In a moment of great euphoria, there was no shortage of slip-ups like that of Denzel Dumfries who collected a banner from the fans which portrays him holding the AC Milan player, Theo Hernandez, on a leash. Objectively questionable choice which was criticized by everyone and which also put the Dutch player in the FIGC’s sights.
The words of Dumfries
24 hours later, the messages arrived on social media Apologies from Denzel Dumfries who wanted to talk about the party and what he defined as a wrong choice: “Yesterday was the best day for and for all the players and everyone in the club. Thank you very much to the fans who decided to take part in the parade. It was a great feeling to be able to celebrate with all of you and it meant a lot to the team. During the parade, I held up a banner that had an inappropriate image. I am a player who loves rivalries, they are a fundamental part of any sport. I realized that taking that banner in my hands was an error of judgment and not at all intelligent. But now I want to move forward and focus on what was a fantastic season for Inter. Thank you again for the support you have given us this season and for yesterday’s topside. I will never forget her”.
Milan: the fans don’t forgive
The Milan fans do not seem to be at all impressed by Dumfries’ words and on social media continue to attack the Dutch player for his play: “This trick is handy – says Stefano – starting tomorrow I too will do the worst things and then I apologize. Ridiculous scoundrels”. And there are those who criticize it even more harshly: “Not even the courage of his actions. Little man”. The Dumfries case has stirred social media a lot during the day and the apologies seem to ignite the controversy even more rather than dissolving it with the Rossoneri fans also attacking Gravina: “Just as happened with the racist Acerbi, Gravina’s embrace will arrive”.
