The shame of the chants against Maradona and Spalletti in La Spezia. The rivalry between the two fan bases, which caused serious clashes in May, has been reignited by repeated and hateful chants against the symbolic player of Naples. Spalletti was also targeted. The chant heard repeatedly from the Ferrovia curve of the La Spezia ultra fans during Spezia-Napoli is shameful. Those chants are disgusting because they celebrated the death of a man. That man is called Diego Armando Maradona and is a world football heritage and not just from Naples, which makes those chants even more shameful, more than one, different in text but all disgusting. Gratitude and heavy chants against Luciano Spalletti, who is linked for life to La Spezia, as a man as well as a footballer.

The fact that there is a stupid and ancient rivalry between La Spezia and Naples is unfortunately history (last May there were serious clashes between ultra fans in the last championship game, with the game also suspended for several minutes) and every violence must be condemned, without entering into biased games. That there were hostile chants becomes consequential, even if unacceptable because they are racist. And repeated.
