The Fiorentina midfielder in the mince of the publication of the investigation papers that concerns him. And for which he has already paid the account with sports justice
A long social message in the middle of the storm, with the pages of the newspapers and hours of transmissions that sift the past, copy and paste of acts of the investigation into illegal bets quickly become the best way to spy on the hole of the vices lock (many) and virtues (few) of the “heroes” of Italian football. Nicolò Fagioli has certainly made serious mistakes, but he can say without the theme of having to have paid. And to be entitled to try to get up without being put to the pillory with a “end penalty never” that represents for him, above all, the real sentence.
“I was wrong, I paid, I have the right to get up” is the appeal relaunched through its Instagram profile, taking it out with the press and with those who have been sacked the investigation papers to relaunch chats, current accounts, public and private weaknesses of a boy who passed through the hell of ludopathy and who risked burning his career together with several million euros. And that today he is reconstructing, until proven otherwise having defeated the ghosts of the past.
A subtle border, that between the exercise of the right of news on a public personality and the respect that one owes because that path of redemption and return to normal is not made even more difficult and uncertain about how already it is already at the start. Certainly around a story of great impact such as the involvement of the players in betting laps cannot be demanded. But it is equally true that many of the cards released add little or nothing to history, often drag people to the front line who have done nothing wrong except to try to help friends in difficulty, throw in the meal of public pieces of life by celebrating a process on the square that at the best of the hypotheses has yet to be weighed by the judicial authorities.
Fagioli is right to ask for this, by claiming the steps taken to accept the consequences of their actions and the right to start again without ending up in the mince. It is not a favorable treatment for a spoiled boy, but a stretch of road to be shared waiting for the criminal investigation to take its course. The sporting one, until proven otherwise, is a closed chapter that can only be reopen in case of new and significant facts that do not seem to have emerged today. Everyone can legitimately think that the formula of the plea bargain to which he joined beans and tonals in 2023 was too much or too little: the truth is that it was what the system provides, in Italy and also elsewhere where the penalties are also milder than the Italian ones. If you don’t like it, that you change, but without making the account pay for those who have already passed us and is now delivered to the perennial chatter that muddy without the possibility of redemption.
The outburst of beans on Instagram
Here is the text of the long message with which the Fiorentina midfielder wanted to publicly express his discomfort for having ended up in the newspapers again: “I paid my debt with justice. With a condemnation and a sacrosanct disqualification, with continuous and justified humiliations, with the shame tested and with the risk of not getting up more. I told of my pathology, serious, in schools, to my family, to friends and the press. That same press that often faces the serious problems of my illness and how to deal with them, but which today
I endured the weight of having committed something bad. To have disappointed all the people who believed in me. By now it is certainly not new: without any victims, I spent a dark period, I suffered from a bad pathology and this is absolutely not a justification. But seeing all this media fury now is making me relive those ghosts. No, this time all this is not right.
I was wrong, I paid, without having hurt anyone if not myself and to people next to me. And like every person who is wrong and pays, I have every right to get up. Everyone, even those who write today, can fall and make mistakes. The important thing is to know how to recognize him and I believe that a man’s strength is in knowing how to get up. I was 19 years old at the time of the facts and ludopathy had taken over me. I regretted it, but life gave me a second opportunity and I would like to take it, having already served everything I had to serve.
I ask respect now, after dealing with a trial, having taken a right sentence. I apologize to all colleagues, to all friends who, due to my mistakes, are found, despite having involved or appointed – even if only in a newspaper line – in this situation only for helping me. And I thank Fiorentina, Juventus, friends and my family, who have never stopped supporting me and helping me in a difficult time. Even if I definitely disappointed them.
I will no longer return to the subject, now I just have to think about giving my best on the field “.
