Dead fan in Serie A.

Another football fan death in the context of a game in Serie A. After the shooting death of Gabriele Sandri in November last year (Round 12 of Hinserie) died yesterday (12th Matchday of the return series) around 12.30 clock of Parma supporter Matteo Bagnaresi at a motorway service area Crocetta in Asti, Torino-Piacenza motorway, 48 km from Turin. Looking back on the press reports in the wake of the death, Sandri I summarize with all due distance, only the recent pronouncements.

Comb it seems that a combination of Parma and Juve supporter groups, both on the way to the game at the Stadio Olimpico. The Juve fans from Crema - families, women, no organized ultras and the like - to describe a security threat, when their bus stopped at the rest stop to refuel. Allegedly, there were threats and attacks with iron bars and bottles after which the bus driver started to move to escape the situation before it spirals out of control. In the Parma Tifosi from the left side of the vehicle was overrun and captured. The bus driver, who claims to have noticed the accident, nothing will stop after about 1 km on the highway for clues to his passengers. Other sources claim that he was finally stopped by the police after the Q8 petrol station staff had alerted the police. A Juventus fan described: "If we had previously held, they would have killed us." The bus started its maneuvers with open doors after two youths already tried to get into the bus.

According to the 10 Juve fans another (say from 9 or 25 fans) they were of an approximately 50-strong group of supporters of Parma (the resting place Crocetta North "was not intended as a breakpoint of organized fans, and therefore no carabinieri were present attack) with sticks and bottles, others followed soon after arriving from Parma two other buses that are already in readiness belt as a striking tool. She herself had arrived only 5 minutes before the incident at the rest stop for a drink and vollzutanken. Immediately got out of the Parma fans of two newly arriving buses, surrounded the "enemy" and threw bottles, have done without that - in his own words - or say anything provocative. Two bottles burst in the interior of the Parma-minibus, traveling Maetche suffered two cuts. While trying to escape Bagnaresi jumped in front of the bus on the road and was run over by bus and recorded. In the described conditions, strength of at least 50:1 a flight would in any case a perfectly legitimate and understandable, it must first of all at least as credible by a random traffic accident in which fans of both clubs were present and the driver noticed none of this had happened, that he had just one People ran over. The girl who tried to revive Matteo was the first at the scene said that it he drew a black face mask from his head (this statement is borne out by nothing, apparently the man was wearing), the usual hoody, the incoming helpers gathered beside his blue and yellow shawl or filed his belt next to the corpse on - for the Juventini his assault rifle.

Instead, an elderly lady reported from any of the Juventus bus entirely by controversy and talks about her fear of the armed with bottles heranrennenden Parma fans:

Parla un'anziana tifosa della Juventus era a bordo del servizio di pullman nell'area Crocette: "Mi sono molto spaventata, sono ancora terrorizzata, ho visto che quei ragazzi contro la correvano Corriera. E meno male che a noi ci hanno lasciato stare, eravamo già in partenza, non potevano mettersi davanti ho visto che correvano. Ho visto un ragazzo con la bottiglia, era nel caduto correre o era inciampato, l'ha presa su Correva e ancora dopo "

A friend of the victim of exactly the other hand, spoke of such a "coincidence": "Matteo was located near the wheels of the bus and the vehicle rolled over him. The driver has not noticed what is happening and is simply drove off. "This friend reported any aggression against the Bianconeri, it would have merely shouted that the bus would stop, as he walked away from the accident site. But, on the basis of likely threats, had gone on. According to this version, there was therefore a simple hit and run traffic accident, which will necessarily inflate the press to the "story". Also conceivable. Weapons were the arriving police officers do not seize any event, not yet usable as weapons such items. The only indication of a possible collision has taken place, the broken glass of a bottle on the grounds of the service area.

The game against Parma, Juventus was - although it is a tragic accident - "move as a sign of mourning" at a date to be determined, according to officials at Juventus backing of the League and the Professional Players Association. Presumably, the game will be at 16.04. recuperated. All other league games took place as planned, the whistle of yesterday's games took place after a minute's silence. The Ultras Empoli - brotherhood with Parma - removed all banners and flags from the stadium. Only a white sheet with "Ciao Matteo" recalled the incident. "A sign of mourning"? Presumably they had drawn a lesson from the conflicts tend to Gabriele Sandris death than the hatred of the ultras ate straight out of the misunderstanding that the match "was held as usual." Moreover, I do not really believe that included the phone calls and SMS messages that circulated after the death among the fans of Juve and Parma, a quiet and reflective work-up of the facts. Like I said, I do not know how the fans informed, but a "The Juve-pigs have run over one of us' I think is not completely excluded. The game was called off in any case not because people were afraid of riots - or accident.

For Matteo Bagnaresi it should be the first game visit after 3 years of the stadium ban. On 06.01.2005 he had, together with a hundred Parma Ultras, stormed the lawn of the Tardini, and was accused of rioting against Juventus fans after the match. Bagnaresi, son of an engineer and a teacher Barilla, worked as a safety inspector for production sites. According to the Gazzetta report he had hired one fixed place of work and was a pacifist, politically interested, and anti-racist. Not even the security forces, he was known as a hothead. Instead, it remembers its market through its activities in the social center, where he helped the sick and shipwrecked. Sounds almost too good for a real man. I'm not interested really - but it is significant that of all of these properties by the Gazzetta: Who cares about the so-slightly in a car accident? Is there some attempt to get the football out of the firing line?

For Cristiano Sandri, brother shot dead in November, Gabrielle, is "impressive and absurd to hear of another fatality that." The events were for him, "resurrect saddest moments." Gabrielle's father, Giorgio added that he hoped "this is the last time that he needs to hear about such incidents, otherwise football will pay a heavy price. Man it could not accept that boys need of 26, dying 28 years ago for a football match. "Spoldi Siro is against the bus driver for the time being investigated for manslaughter. Meanwhile, the first politicians to call for a general Auswärtsfahrtverbot Berlusconi defends against this vehemently, in a first opinion in the rest.

Against the backdrop of a death it is time for mourning and sympathy with the family of the deceased. In no case shall the death of Matteo's lead to the ultras bring him into a martyr or the state as evidence that we must proceed with all severity against everything that wears a flag. Although going to happen anyway in the heated atmosphere in Italy probably just that - the government turns a little screw in the repression, the ultras are coming together under pressure, yet stronger. On this view, but also includes facts that I can even write with extreme bitterness: Every Sunday, there were violent clashes in the Italian motorway service since the railway through effective control systems, the problem has shifted to the highways. Violence almost always arises from the interaction of organized groups of Ultras. Gabriele Sandri was not an angel of peace, and Matteo, a member of the "Boys", was just 3 years stadium ban behind him. In today's Italian football to die by blows with iron bars or by centrifugal faded steel balls or just stop trying, a minibus with opposing fans at the departure. Whatever. I was not there, I just worked up the press reports and inform me on Ultras pages. Whatever the truth may seem - perhaps all the participants were drinking coffee in peace and Matteo was simply careless about the street when he was captured by the vehicle. The enmity between Juventus and Parma, is legendary in the rest.

Hundredfold is a "non c'entra il calcio" (read football plays no role ") to. He is feeble. Even if it was a tragic accident. The deceased is a member of the "Boys" and the roadhouse were fans of the deep warring factions. Would be crisp enough material for a story. What may have happened exactly - a martyr Matteo is not good. The idea for a ball game to die - as always - is too absurd to accept them. Meanwhile, the Boys Parma on your website to publish their disgust about the fact that certain circles do not even shrink from death and invent stories about iron bars, chains and sticks to pretty bloody civil war reporting from the scene "Calcio" too.

"S'è parlato di catene, spranghe e bastoni. Ma noi né né gli Juventini eravamo armati. S'è parlato di e di scontri tafferugli, ma non si sono le due fazioni date battaglia. S'è parlato ancora di tifo violento e di voler le sospendere Trasfert dei tifosi, ma non è stato Il Bagna ucciso ultras da altri, è morto sotto le ruote di un pullman.

"There was talk of chains, sticks and batons. But neither we nor the Juventini were armed. They spoke of clashes and melee, but both groups have not fought. Again there was talk of violent fans and that we must prohibit away games, but Bagna has not been murdered by other ultras, but died under the wheels of a bus. "

As far as the version of the Boys. Even more important is the conclusion of their releases:

"Si rispetti la verità, si rispetti la memoria di un ragazzo che non c'è più, si rispetti a Matteo il dolore di chi ha voluto bene."

"People should respect the truth, they may the memory of a boy who is no longer respected, you might have to respect the grief of those who loved Matteo."

    Italian fan scene was slowly again to the support of the recall mansnchaft. Now it is really not about each other eat the polish ... the support of the team to be the man 12, which I find is a thousand times more important than the unsubscribe gewaltätig rivalries and brutality.

    Well, yes, indeed. However, I am waiting with erstmal an assessment of whether there has actually been something that goes beyond a traffic accident. What the press from the words "death" and "Ultras zusammenkombiniert" so all we can do so in November. Should it really have a attack by the Boys on the Juve-provided bus (see vs. Bayern fans. FCN), then he has been just bad luck. For the moment are to me the news was still too confused to allow me an opinion.

  • machnow:

    ich finds nich but still so beautiful that even the ultras ruffkloppen first time at the "press". they also times that it "is not about football" in the best position to know ... that a people (fleeing) exit, because counter-fans come ezählt a little of the emotional constitution of Italian fans.

    But you're right, I also know nich, what is there wrong. But once again a dead easy tifosi iss scheisse.

    But of course, that's what I've built up in his irony. I lean out the window here, but the idea that a highway rest stop of fans Ultras warring groups is populated, all of which only drink coffee in peace and then a bus simply drives as with open doors, runs over someone without notice it and the Parma fans call just after, the bus may stop but please, now I do not think sooooo catchy. But you're right - without some knowledge of the potential for violence, the bus driver would also not start so fast ...

    Today there are i.Ue. a very interesting article on the situation on the motorway on match ...

  • Alex:

    Hello,
    I have become aware of your blog as part of the case, Sandri, and I see more times since then clean. Now I wanted to again thank them for that, that you do people without comprehensive knowledge of Italian allows, as I win a semi-objective impression of what happened in Italy.

    Thank you! I am pleased, of course, if someone reads this stuff too. ;)

  • Stephan:

    More controls on highway against ultras

    Yes, that video surveillance is already a good thing. Just a pity that the pictures always mysteriously disappear when it notices and abuses by the police there or maybe an accidental shooting death should be investigated ...

  • [...] After a short rest in Angelinos then we went home but in fact, still in the stadium where we could once again feel as VIP guests of the Brigate Rosson, when we parked the car directly in front of the stadium. Unfortunately, the Zuschauerzuspruch kept within bounds, so much room to spread, we had our cozy Curva rare, and also in the north corner went just a few Cagliaritani behind their banner 'il tuo sorriso, le transfert doing. ciao fabio ", reminiscent of a Sardinian Ultras. Our curve recalled with a Striscione to Matteo Bagnaresi, who was run over last weekend, at a highway rest stop by a bus. [...]
