During the celebrations of the Scudetto won by Inter Milan, Denzel Dumfries held up a banner where he is seen holding Theo Hernandez on a leash, in a caricature of dubious taste.
The Inter president wanted his players to stay sober for the title celebrations, and it failed. Sunday, during the parade for the Scudetto which followed the victory against Torino, Denzel Dumfries made a name for himself by brandishing a banner probably provided by interior fans.
On this banner, a drawing inspired by the video game GTA, where we see the Dutch full-back leashing a dog with the face of Theo Hernandez. A reference, undoubtedly, to the altercation between the two players during the derby the previous weekend, which validated Inter’s title as champion, and where the two full-backs were excluded at the end of the match.
In 2022, Theo Hernandez was sanctioned
This scene did not make anyone laugh at all in Italy, like the reaction of the boss of the League, Lorenzo Casini. “I think it’s in bad taste,” said the manager. Similar things were seen during the celebrations in Argentina for the 2022 World Cup, it seems that in these moments the brakes have completely let go, footballers unfortunately do not realize how much harm a gesture of this type causes to the younger generations, because in many cases they do not have the necessary structure to understand that it is a gesture to be condemned and they almost always tend to reproduce and imitate it. »
Dumfries also risks being sanctioned, because the federal park has already started to take an interest in this subject, indicates the Gazzetta. This has already happened in the past, notably after the title… of AC Milan. “In 2022, Theo Hernandez himself, along with his teammates Krunic, Maignan and Tonali, were punished with fines of between 4,000 and 5,000 euros for brandishing banners hostile to Inter Milan.
