Serie A: Naples says no to racism in support of Juan Jesus

Some Naples supporters shouted “No to racism” on Saturday before kick-off of the match between their club and Atalanta in support of their defender Juan Jesus, who claims to have been the target of racist insults from by Francesco Acerbi. The Brazilian defender accused the Inter Milan player of having hurled racist insults at him during the clash of the 29th day on March 17 (1-1), before the international break. But the Italian Federation's disciplinary committee announced on Tuesday that, due to lack of conclusive evidence, it was not imposing any sanctions on the Italian international defender.

Juan Jesus expressed his bitterness and discouragement. Before the opening match of the 3rd day against Atalanta, some of the spectators present at the Diego-Armando-Maradona stadium timidly chanted “No to racism” at the call of the stadium announcer. For their part, Napoli players wore jerseys without the “Keep racism out” badge that Serie A clubs display on the 29th and 30th days of the season.

Saying they were "stunned" by the lack of sanction against Acerbi, the club's management had warned that Napoli would no longer participate in awareness-raising operations against racism and discrimination coordinated by the Italian Federation - "initiatives purely cosmetic,” she accuses. Juan Jesus started the match against Atalanta, crucial in the race to qualify for the next Champions League, which kicked off at 12:30 p.m. “He is serene and calm, he is a very professional player, I would like to have twenty, Juan Jesus, he is ready,” assured his coach Francesco Calzona. Naples is 7th with 45 points, two points behind Atalanta (47 pts).
