Romelu Lukaku Becomes Racial Victim at Cagliari Headquarters

DBasia.news –  Inter Milan’s new striker, Romelu Lukaku, became a racial victim when his team competed at Cagliari headquarters in the continuation of the Serie A match.

Inter Milan take home three points from the Sardegna Arena. These conditions after they won 2-1 in the second week of the 2019-2020 Serie A match.

In the match that took place Sunday (1/9) two Inter Milan goals were scored by Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku. While Cagliari’s goal was a contribution from Joao Pedro.

Unfortunately, an unpleasant experience occurred for Romelu Lukaku. Cagliari supporters gave racial harassment to the Belgian attacker.

Every time Romelu Lukaku holds the ball, the sound of imitating a monkey is heard throughout the stadium. Even worse when Lukaku preparing to execute a penalty.

In fact, until Romelu Lukaku celebrated the goals he scored ridicule continued. Finally, Lukaku only stared intently at the Cagliari supporters. 

This is not the first time the Sardegna Arena has been victimized by racial abuse. Certainly, the freshest in memory is the incident that happened to former Juventus striker, Moise Kean.

Despite the status of an Italian player, Moise Kean is indeed dark-skinned. That made Kean celebrate that made the Sardegna Arena public more upset.

At that time, strangely Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri blamed Moise Kean. Leonardo Bonucci also issued a statement that is no less controversial.

Now, responding to the case of Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Conte chose to act like Massimiliano Allegri. Conte believes there is no direct mockery for Romelu Lukaku.

“To be honest, I didn’t hear anything from the sidelines. However, education is indeed needed in Italy,” Antonio Conte said after the match ended.

“I heard from Carlo Ancelotti, there are some bad stadiums. When abroad, there are not many things like this because fans focus on supporting his favorite team,” added Antonio Conte.

Until when Sardegna Arena will continue to do racial harassment will remain a mystery. However, surely the management of Serie A must take firm action against Cagliari as the owner of the stadium.
