Venticinque feriti e dieci arresti. Questo al momento è il bilancio di una notte di follia a Genova. Gli ultrà serbi, che dal pomeriggio di ieri avevano già dato segni di violenza in città, si sono scatenati all’interno dello stadio Luigi Ferraris dove si sarebbe dovuta giocare la partita della loro nazionale contro quella dell’Italia. Una partita che non si è mai giocata, iniziata con quaranta minuti di ritardo e sospesa dopo appena sei minuti. All’uscita dallo stadio lo scontro tra i facinorosi serbi e forze dell’ordine è esploso. Gli ultrà che cercavano di riversarsi in città sono stati trattenuti dentro lo stadio e fatti defluire lentamente verso i pullman, ma per far ciò si è arrivati al corpo a corpo nel piazzale davanti allo stadio. Incidenti, pioggia di bottiglie e persino un pullman amt bruciato. Tra i feriti anche un carabiniere, che ha riportato un trauma cranico. Decine di ultrà sono stati fermati per essere identificati e perquisiti. Trovate spranghe, bombe carta e fumogeni: le armi della guerriglia che questi pseudo-tifosi hanno messo in campo ieri a Marassi.

Italy-Serbia called off as Serbian hooligans riot (2nd Roundup)

Genoa, Italy – The Euro 2012 qualifier between Italy and Serbia had to be called Tuesday as a group of Serbian fans rioted inside and outside the Luigi Ferraris stadium.

Both teams returned to the changing rooms ahead of the game’s scheduled start and were back onto the pitch after about 30 minutes as police confronted around 100 fans who damaged a protecting net, crashed plexiglas barriers and set off flares.

The game began but the players had to leave the pitch after just seven minutes of play when hooligans hurled flares at Italy goalkeeper Francesco Viviano.

‘We are sorry that a football game ended like this,’ Viviano said. ‘The Serb players were very unhappy. (Inter Milan’s Dejan) Stankovic was crying. I told the referee that I could not keep goal while looking at people throwing smoke flares at me.’

Antonello Valentini, an official of the Italian federation, said that Scottish referee Craig Thomson had called the game off because he felt that the players would not be safe if they remained on the pitch.

‘We are sorry that a football game ended like this,’ Viviano said.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli, meanwhile, expressed his dismay at the events.

‘There won’t be a game, I’ve never seen anything like this,’ he said. Italy are likely to be awarded an automatic 3-0 win as a result of the trouble, but the Italian FA could face a heavy fine for failing to control the fans.

Serb goalkeeper Stojkovic appears to have been hassled before the game as the Serb team arrived at the stadium and did not take his place in the team and was replaced by Zeljko Brkic.

Serbian national RTS said that Stojkovic was defended by his team- mates as hooligans with torches tried to reach him.

A former Red Star Belgrade player, Stojkovic drew the wrath of his former fans when he joined archrivals Partizan after the club qualified for the European Champions League.

Following the transfer, the 27-year old said that he received death threats but that he was not concerned.

In the home qualifier against Estonia on Saturday, which Serbia lost 3-1, Red Star fans booed and jeered him every time he touched the ball.

Clashes also took place in Genoa before the game, when a drunken Serb fan was arrested as he threw iron bolts at police. Other hooligans were blocked as they were entering the stadium.

Serbian fans continued to riot in the Genoa stadium, delaying the start of the match by more than 20 minutes and then again interrupted it by throwing torches on the pitch.

Serbian hooligans have a record of extreme violence. A year ago a visiting French fan was beaten to death ahead of Partizan’s Europa League match against Toulouse.

Fans are also the inevitable ingredient in riots such as Sunday’s, when several thousand thugs clashed with police trying to break a gay pride parade.

A referee called off a European Cup football qualifying match between Serbia and Italy Tuesday when Serbian fans threw flares and firecrackers on the field.

The teams played just seven minutes at the stadium in Genoa before players walked off the field, not to return.

The referee later officially called off the game, which started more than 30 minutes late because of fans climbing on security screens.

The Serbian fans ignored pleas from their players to calm down. There were no immediate reports of any injuries.

European football officials could award Italy a 3-0 win by default. They are also considering disciplinary action.
