To light the fuse, old grudges and clashes outside the stadium. And now the two clubs risk heavy sporting penalties
Serie A 2021/2022 ended in the worst way. The shameful facts of Spice, in fact, they have cast a bad shadow on our league after two difficult years due to Covid restrictions. With the stadiums finally open to 100%, at the “Picco” stadium there was a scene that you really didn’t miss. The day after the crime, the reconstruction of the facts made by “Il Mattino” starts from a stone-throwing against a small van, which was carrying ultras of the Napoli. Word spread quickly and the Azzurri fans entered the stadium with the desire for “revenge”. The spice version is differentwhich speaks of old grudges and bipartisan provocations outside the stadium that led to the first clashes.

Clashes between fans and invasion of the pitch in Spezia-Napoli: match suspended for 12 minutes
According to the Ligurian club, in particular, some La Spezia fans attacked a couple of Neapolitan minibuses after being provoked and hit with flagpoles.
The climate inside the Peak was therefore immediately heavy and the goal by Politano after ten minutes to unleash the bedlam. Here the versions diverge. On the one hand, Il Mattino reports the launch of smoke bombs, rockets, torches and various objects towards the curve occupied by Neapolitan supporters. Launch which, according to Spezia, took place in the opposite direction, among other things, against a sector of the stadium occupied for the most part by families and children. Excluding the presence of Marseille fanswith which the Neapolitans had had problems in the past, and even more the alleged twinning between the ultras of Om and those of Spezia (actually twinned with Nizza).
The reconstructions of what happened later are also very different. It is true that the fans of the Spice they tried to enter the field to go towards the pool curve occupied by those of Napoli. True also that Thiago Motta he tried to stop them, but his safety would never be at risk. But something actually happened to Koulibalyperhaps hit by a stick, certainly misled by his own fans who asked him to step aside to be able to settle accounts with the Ligurian ultras.
From here on, the morning and the spice agree on what happened: from the intervention of the police to the clashes that broke out again outside the Peak to arrive at the wounding of a Napoli fan who was trying, according to the Police Headquarters, to throw a paper bomb. Obviously everything will pass into the hands of the sports judge who will be severe with both clubs.
In addition to very high fines, there are also fears of heavier measures such as the closure of some sectors of the stadiums of Spezia and Naples if not of the plants themselves in their entirety for the next season. But even the individual “protagonists” are at great risk, since most likely many will have been identified by the various cameras and nominal tickets. The fear of national football, however, is that other similar scenes will repeat themselves in the future. And someone already regrets Covid …
