Euro2020, “let’s play Italy-Belgium again”. The incredible motivation of the supporters’ petition and mocked him at the French – Il Tempo

Belgium’s defeat against Italy did not go down well for many of the national team players who went to Roberto Martinez, but the Belgian fans have decided to be ironic and philosophically take the knockout in the Euro2020 quarter-final match. “Replaying against Italy to lose again” is the reason for the petition launched by a fan of the Red Devils national team, which targeted the French in particular. The reference is in fact to the petition with over 250 thousand signatures set up after the elimination of France with Switzerland on penalties: the motivation for asking Uefa to replay the game was Sommer’s alleged irregular behavior in parrying Mbappé’s decisive penalty shot, having taken his feet off the goal line in a a manner not permitted by the regulation.

“We lost against the strongest, the goal is to show how much stronger they really were” the ironic mockery of the Belgian fans, who circulated the petition, which reached 3 thousand signatures despite being only a mockery. Obviously the success of Roberto Mancini’s men is not in doubt and the Azzurri will play the European semifinal against Luis Enrique’s Spain on Tuesday evening, but football is also this, teasing and jokes among fans beyond the result.
