Cagliari Supports Lukaku and Asks for Help Against Racism

Romelu Lukaku got racial attacks from Cagliari fans. The Cagliari club supported Lukaku, but also sought the help of all elements.
Lukaku became the hero of Inter Milan's 2-1 victory over Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena on Monday (2/9/2019). The former Manchester United player scored a penalty in the second half.

It was when he was going to execute the penalty that Lukaku got a racial attack from Cagliari supporters. Quoted from the BBC, from the stands stood the sound of screaming monkeys.

The coach and several Inter players have condemned the racial actions that were addressed to Lukaku. Now it's Cagliari's turn to open the voice.
"Cagliari Calcio firmly opposes the despicable event that occurred on Sunday night at the Sardegna Arena during the match versus Inter," Cagliari was quoted as saying by Italian Football.

"The club underlines - once again - its intention to identify, isolate and forbid people who do not know anything, whose actions and behavior are very shameful, contrary to the values ​​that stretch Cagliari Calcio. Every day."

The club also claims it is currently carrying out the friendliness of the stadium for children. Inside 'Curva Futura' there is a special sector built to accommodate children - both Inter and Cagliari supporters. This idea is the first in Italy.

"Cagliari Calcio does not want to underestimate what happened last night, supports the honorable moral values ​​of his people from all parts of the stadium, but firmly rejects the accusations of outrageous and ridiculous stereotypes directed at supporters of Cagliari and the people of Sardinia, who cannot at all be accepted."
"Our full support is given to Romelu Lukaku and even stronger commitment to wiping out one of the worst plagues that has affected football and our world in general.

"However, because we realize that technology is not enough, we need real support from other football stakeholders: from all true supporters, to all institutions such as the police and security agents, conveying to the media also to Serie A and FIGC."

"Cagliari Calcio is asking for his help in winning a battle that involves everyone. Nothing is excluded."

Lukaku is not the only footballer who became a victim of racial assault at Cagliari headquarters. Previously there were Moise Kean, Blaise Matuidi, Samuele Eto'o, and Sulley Muntari.
