“For the media, Manolo Portanova is guilty, and this is what really hurts… A 23-year-old boy who believes in justice, who is tried in the first instance, but who still has two authorities on his side, because everyone is already guilty, this not this way. It does not matter if we are talking about something that concerns ordinary justice, today, according to public opinion, he is a rapist… However, I am sure who Manolo Portanova is: a boy with sound principles, who, like all young men, can do frivolously. but never so seriously as the one who is in question, do I ask myself: are we sure that putting him before the court is the right thing to do? Are we sure that publicly attacking him sets an example for our youth? Are we sure that it is right to deprive a worker, because he is a footballer, not only for the sake of passion, but also for the sake of work, of the opportunity to do his job? It’s not fair, I say so. I have been following Manolo since his birth, I can say that I really know everything about him and also about his family, even his father Daniele was under investigation for a football match, all the newspaper headlines were against him when he ended up for not being involved in the facts , receiving a no-show with a six-month disqualification, three lines were written. I ask that Manolo be given the opportunity to defend himself in court, because that is what Italian law says.
This whole case is not a media trial. Hands off Manolo.” Portanova’s agent Matteo Materazzi told TMW about this.
