Montevarchi-Cesena, close fight between coaches: Roberto Malotti throws the dunk against Mimmo Toscano

By comparison Mourinho is a quiet man, one who has never taken it out on anyone, not even with the noise of his enemies. Yes, why the anger with which the Montevarchi coach Roberto Malotti hurled after the match of the 0-3 defeat against Cesena the dunk he had just bitten into against Cesena’s stunned colleague Mimmo Toscano it’s more of a 1920s silent movie scene, of those that ended up with pies in the face, than football 4.0. Let it be said in parentheses, the dunk is also a kind of tool of the trade for the coach of the Valdarno team. He, in fact, out of the world of football, is the owner of a chain of restaurants, as well as a former soccer player of the Rossi di Santa Maria Novella, that is, a piece of man who puts a certain reverence. Not in Toscano who responded in kind. And whoever was there assures them that they weren’t at all verses from the Dolce Stil Novo. L’Aquila Montevarchi immediately dissociated himself from the “unsportsmanlike” behavior of his technical guide and apologized to the visiting managers.

In short, a hot queue for a match that, on Saturday afternoon, Cesena had dominated far and wide on the pitch, which certainly did not have to have been particularly appreciated by a sanguine like Malotti. However, it is difficult to imagine the Far West appendix in the press room, during the post-match interviews. The Montevarchino coach made his quiet examination of a match that had gone as it had gone, but when the turn to speak came to Toscano he never saw us again. The reason, or the pretext, was anger because the colleague would have talked to the Montevarchi players throughout the match. “I only talk to my parents, you have to think about yours”, he railed at his colleague, and then hurled the dunk at him, accompanying the gesture with a threatening “Sooner or later I’ll hit you.” The coach of Cesenaone who as a technician has trod the hot fields of the south, starting with Reggio Calabria, he did not break down too much and replied with a sentence that was also politically incorrect. Then the two got dangerously close and it took the intervention of those who were in the press room to prevent the quarrel from degenerating into physical confrontation. In the end, no reconciliation, only the unkind promise to wait outside. And also on the way back.
