“Taylor? Worse than Byron Moreno.” The FdI advisor who challenged the referee in Budapest speaks

The Melonian Giampaolo Vietri, city councilor in Taranto, recounts the confusion in the Hungarian airport: “I wanted to show him the images of Fernando’s hand ball on his mobile phone. Then one of the security made me fly”

“Anthony Taylor? A referee who, due to his negative performance, reminded me of the Ecuadorian Byron Moreno ”. Giampaolo Vietri, municipal councilor of Fratelli d’Italia in Taranto and Roma fan, was at Budapest airport when the English whistle was passing one of the filters and was recognized by the Giallorossi supporters. If the knockout against Sevilla will cause long discussions for a series of episodes that could have had a different arbitration judgement, the Melonian politician is keen to reconstruct the story “beyond the exploitation, as it emerges from the images”. “We were in complete tranquility – he tells il Foglio – with Roma and Sevilla fans waiting to go home. When Taylor appeared, I approached with my mobile to show him the images of Fernando’s hand ball in the box. Soon after I was run over and hit by a person who I believe was security. I flew away”.
