Surprisingly, Marco Arnautovic (Vienna, 1989) got off to a good start at the Eurocup. At 32 years old and living football at half gas since he changed the Premier for the Chinese Super League, the forward played a great game against North Macedonia. He replaced Stuttgart sensation Sasa Kalajdzic midway through the second half and looked powerful and fit, as in his best times at Stoke on Trent. In 89 he received a good ball from Laimer, dribbled the goalkeeper and defined calmly. Despite being 3-0, Marco, of a Serbian father, he celebrated with an inordinate rage; his worst version was back.
After the goal, he stared at Alioski, a player of Albanian descent with whom he had been bitten since entering the field, and dedicated a series of insults and disgusting gestures to the roots of the Leeds footballer that do not deserve repetition. Yes, time has not yet closed the bleeding derived from the Balkan War.
Although Alaba He tried to cover his partner’s mouth, the verbal and gestural harassments were evident. UEFA took note of this and today decided to sanction Arnautovic with a match: the match against the Netherlands will be lost. Marko, apparently regretful, apologized on his social networks: «Yesterday there were some exchanges heated in emotion, for which I would like to apologize, especially to my friends from North Macedonia and Albania. I want to make one thing clear: I am not a racist, I have friends in almost every country and I defend diversity.
After the match, Alioski signed peace with the Austrian. The Macedonian commented that Arnautovic apologized to him in the dressing room and that for him the issue was settled. However, the North Macedonia national team issued a statement demanding a penalty for the forward.
It is not his first eccentricity since he has been a professional. In his extensive off-field resume there is everything: from share a flat with Balotelli and that Mourinho branded him a child in his poor experience at Inter, even starring in several party fights. Inside the field the problems have not been minor: he is a regular in skirmishes with rival centrals. In addition, the fans of the teams where he has played have always reproached him for his cocky attitude and the little sacrifice of the Austrian in defensive work.
In his youth, the press classified him as the new Ibrahimovic, but his head has not allowed him to develop the football that he has inside. After irregular campaigns at Stoke City, he ended up at the West Ham. There, in West London he signed his best campaigns: he was the offensive reference of the ‘Hammers’ and achieved 22 goals in 65 games. But the Viennese striker, perhaps fed up with stability, packed his bags and signed for Shanghai Port of the Chinese Super League, where football was no longer a priority for the striker. He himself acknowledged that he had underestimated the competition, that he had lost his shape and had taken to sugary drinks.
This season, after regaining his form and being ready for the European Championship, he is ready to return to Europe. The Bologna And, again, West Ham fight for his services. The wayward Arnautovic has left rope for a while.
