"It's disgusting, and the attacker didn't even apologize: no calls, no texts, nothing." This is the father of the 13-year-old boy who was beaten Sunday afternoon by the parent of an opposing soccer player during an Under-14 match between CSF Carmagnola and Volpiano Pianese, speaking to Sky Tg24. A brutal brawl ensued, in which the young goalkeeper was kicked and punched, including in the face, and suffered a fractured malleolus and a suspected fractured cheekbone. Now, in addition to being hospitalized, he will also be seen by a psychologist.
Two days after the absurd incident, the father of the young man who was attacked—who was one of the assistant referees during the match—is still struggling with what happened. Furthermore, there has been no apology from the other parent: "All it took was a phone call, we could have met and discussed the situation," the man says. "Maybe it was crazy, something that came to him in an instant: he could have said he was wrong and that he could have acted differently. Especially because things could have been much worse, seeing the force with which he attacked my son."
