Cittadella, Branca apologizes to Esposito (SPAL): “My inexpressible and unjustified gesture”

Four rounds of disqualification “at the end of the match, on the playing field, forcefully push the opponent with the back of the head, causing him to fall to the ground, in addition to voluntarily trample the right temple with the spikes of the boot and the hand of the same opponent still lands without harmful consequences,” the sports press said in a press release. Serie B judges in regard to Simone Branca of Cittadella.
Who sent a message through social channels today apologizing for the incident:

“I want to apologize to my teammates, to my club, to the football fans and, above all, to Salvatore Esposito.
The gesture I made is inexpressible, unjustified.
I got four days of disqualification, but I was ready to make any decision on this matter.
I understand that in the eyes of those who do not know me, this gesture could make people think of me as someone I am not, for example, someone who identified me as a criminal.
I gently remember that a mistake cannot identify a person, especially when it comes to a gesture made on a football field. Today we know criminals that they are not on the football field, but on the battlefield. Throwing the first stone as if it were a race just to get up or feel better than me is legal and not hate speech.
Finally, I apologize to all the children who love football and who have seen these images, including my children.
Hello everyone, see you at the stadium.
Go to the city.”
