It was supposed to be a championship celebration full of exhausting fun but at the same time respectful of healthy sporting principles but, thanks to the euphoria of the moment, in the end the foot slipped off the brake. The celebrations ofInterfresh from the second star earned in the victory against Milan, were tarnished by the explicit banner against Theo Hernandez displayed by Denzel Dumfries. This is also why the FIGC Prosecutor’s Office wants to see clearly the conduct adopted during the carousel in the streets of Milan which were invaded by supporters.
In this regard the Prosecutor’s Office Figc has opened a file relating to the behavior of the Inter player. Therefore, under the magnifying glass, the images depicting the Dutch footballer while showing a banner depicting a dog with the AC Milan player’s face will end up Theo Hernandez worn on a leash like a dog. All using the basis of a meme that refers to gestures of submission. The intention is to shed full light on what happened and verify whether article 4 of the Sports Justice Code relating to the principles of loyalty, correctness and probity that members must respect in their conduct has been violated. According to what was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sportat this point a fine is to be expected, the extent of which has yet to be defined.
In the meantime on your profile Instagram it was Dumfries himself who commented on the episode. The Nerazzurri player returned to the matter and – thanking the fans who provided the backdrop to a day of celebration – recognized that he had shown banner that showed “an inappropriate image” during the parade on the bus in the city. He wanted to underline the rivalry as a crucial component in the game of football, but immediately afterwards he added that he had become aware of the gravity of having raised the offending banner: “It was an error of judgment on my part and not smart at all“.
What happened on Sunday is only the latest sign of disagreement between Dumfries and Theo Hernandez. There is no bad blood between the two, the rivalry is very heated as evidenced by the expulsion that both had to deal with in the last derby won 2-1 by the Nerazzurri. With intellectual honesty, however, it must be recognized that Dumfries was an isolated case in the celebrations, given that the other teammates in various circumstances refused to fall into sterile provocations and teasing on a personal level.
In the background, the images of the Nerazzurri cow at the Scudetto celebration continue to cause discussion: the International Organization for Animal Protection (Oipa) will file a complaint with the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office to see if the episode could constitute a crime for incompatible detention or in any case a form of mistreatment.
