Bonucci insults AC Milan fans: Can anyone stop his arrogance?

Bonucci insults AC Milan fans: Can anyone stop his arrogance?

Mindful of how he treated them, AC Milan fans booed Leonardo Bonucci yesterday during Italy's match with Portugal. He came in gold, took Kessie's shirt number, took the captain's armband, led Milan to a sad sixth place and then escaped to Juve.

Disapproving the behaviour of a protagonist of football, if it is done without excesses, is absolutely legitimate. Otherwise, we want people to pay for tickets to say 'yes sir' in the face of any rudeness, and this obviously cannot be done.

The reply to Milan fans came immediately. 'The mother of the imbeciles is always pregnant," he said. Yes, they are stupid because they did not accept that he would make fun of them, do their business, seduce them with declarations of love and then betray them.

They would have to endure this attitude in silence, perhaps even applaud it and thank him. Then they would have been smart. And this without mentioning that it was Bonucci who reproached Mourinho a few days ago because he was insulted - not whistled - for ninety minutes, at the end of the match he showed his ears to the Juve fans. He did not insult them.

But this is just one aspect of the story. Then there is another, institutional one. The new coach Mancini and, above all, the new federation president Gravina, can accept that an international insults a part of the fans who have given love, money and support to the national team?

If the Federation had a weight and a soul, it would take a clear position against Bonucci's arrogance. But this will probably not happen. It is easier to care less about people than to stand against an important player. And in conclusion, just a rhetorical question, are we sure that Milan fans are the imbeciles here?
