Here is the English translation:
In recent hours, a photo of the president of Lega Serie A, Ezio Maria Simonelli, has been circulating widely on social media. He was present last night in the stands at San Siro to watch Inter-Bayern Munich, wearing a black and blue scarf around his neck. This immediately sparked controversy, with the league president quickly being ‘accused’ of being an Inter supporter.
The absurd controversy, which arose on a night of celebration for the Nerazzurri fans—likely with the intent of diverting attention from yet another feat achieved by Simone Inzaghi and his team—was addressed by journalist Giovanni Capuano. In a Facebook post, the journalist clarified that Simonelli is not only not an Inter supporter, but is actually a Milan fan.
These were the journalist’s words: “Not to disappoint you—feel free to keep arguing if you wish—but the Serie A president, Ezio Maria Simonelli, is well known to be a Milan fan. And it’s not even a secret, since it’s not necessary to present documentation proving football atheism to be in charge of the league. He was cold, he asked for a scarf, and they gave him the one that was available: the Inter scarf, since they were playing against a German team in the Champions League. If you see some conspiracy here, go see a really good specialist.”
