The FIGC has decided to open a file regarding the behavior of Inter defender Denzel Dumfries during the party for the twentieth championship celebrated yesterday, in the streets of Milan, at the end of the championship match against Torino. Among the taunts directed by the Nerazzurri players at Milan’s rivals, the one that made the most noise and attracted general attention was the one featuring the Dutch winger, guilty of having collected a banner from a fan that had the Rossoneri footballer Theo Hernandez as its target. A banner depicting the Inter player holding a dog on a leash with the face of the French defender, an image borrowed from a famous video game. This is reported by an agency Handle.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW – The Football Association inspectors have collected all the material relating to Dumfries and, again according to what theHandle, the hypothesis is of violation of article 4 of the Code of Sports Justice, relating to loyalty, probity and correctness. In the event that the Inter player was found guilty of an infringement, the most likely solution is that of the payment of a fine both by him and by Inter, which would be involved as a company due to strict liability. A situation very similar to the one that two years ago saw several AC Milan players at the center of the scene who, again during the parade to celebrate their last championship, had addressed Nerazzurri player Hakan Calhanoglu with insulting chants.
CALHA NO, DUMFRIES YES – Hakan Calhanoglu was the target of chants and taunts from AC Milan players and fans on the occasion of the Scudetto won by Stefano Pioli’s team, but the Turk has decided to escape this dynamic and will not take revenge. Of a completely different opinion is Dumfries, which with Theo Hernandez has a personal account always open and which is repeated often in the Derby.
THE FIGHT IN THE DERBY – Many times the two hit each other and unleashed more or less legitimate blows on the pitch. It happened in the 2022/23 season, but the last and most sensational episode arrived on 22 April 2024 in the Derby won 2-1 by Inter and which handed the Tricolore to Inzaghi’s team.
In the 93rd minute Theo and Dumfries put their hands in each other’s faces and necks, sparking a furious brawltheir teammates managed to separate them and the referee with difficulty Colombo sent off both playersthen sanctioned by the Sports Judge with a stoppage.
FROM HANDS TO BANNERS – From the brawl on the pitch to the chants outside, because the Milan full-back had already been the target of insults and chants from Inter fans (“Son of a…“) on the occasion of the first party in Piazza Duomo immediately after the Derby, choirs that Nicolò Barella on the balcony with megaphone in hand had immediately stopped and instead started a chant for Dumfries.
An input that came from above, Inter want to avoid lapses in style, but the Dutch winger has decided to take another route. The mystery revealed about who the opponent he and Marcus Thuram had calleddog‘ in recent live broadcasts Instagram (without openly saying the name), now he has launched a new provocation by displaying with a smile a banner destined to spark controversy.
