A real case that broke out in the last few hours in Serie B. The protagonist was Emmanuel Matino, a Neapolitan defender of Bari who, in the heated finale - the Apulians were defeated 1-0 at home by Sudtirol - pushed a ball boy guilty of delaying the resumption of the game.

A story that obviously ended up on social media: a few hours after the incident, in fact, the player had tried to clarify.

«I apologize to the ball boy for the gesture I made. Certainly, it was not my intention to use “violence” (Small push) but it was only due to the rush to recover the game. But it is no less serious to wish death just because I am Neapolitan», Emmanuele Matino had written on Facebook, a post that immediately went viral.
