Rahim Stirling, Manchester City player: Leonardo Bonocci's stance on racism in football stadiums is laughable

Manchester City star Rehim Stirling said that Juventus striker Moiz Kane was partly responsible for racist chants against him in the match against Cagliari.

Kane, 19, lifted his arm into the crowd after scoring Juve's second goal against Cagliari on Tuesday.

Italian striker Leonardo Bonocci said after the match that Keane could have behaved differently, and that "the guilt is fair for both sides".

But Stirling, 24, said: "You can not help but laugh" at this comment.

In an entry on his Instagram account, Stirling told Bonucci, the 31-year-old Italian defender on Wednesday, that he had said "the fault is 50-50". This was followed by a series of smiles that illustrate Kevin's slap.

Massimiliano Alegre, head of Juventus, said that "Ken should not have celebrated this style" and called on the authorities to take the measures that impose.

"In spite of everything and in all cases, no racism," replied Bonocci.

Last month, several English players chanted racist slogans in the 5-1 win against Montenegro in Podgorica.

Stirling asked the crowd to put their hands on their ears after scoring a goal in this game. He then asked the football authorities "to take a decisive position against racist practices".

"Ken knows that if he scores a goal, he should focus on celebrating with his friends and he knows that he can act differently," Bonucci told Sky Sports Italia after Juventus and Cagliari.

"I heard racist applause after the goal, and Blaise Matudei heard it and raised his anger.I think the guilt is even between the two camps because Moyes should not have expressed his joy of this way and, on the other hand, the crowd of Cagliari should not have reacted in this way.

"We are professionals, we must be a model and not provoke anyone."

"The best way to respond to racism," said Kane, "is the best way to respond to racism."

Ken's agent, Mino Raiola, told the BBC that anyone from Juventus who did not want to fight racism had to leave the club.

"No one should justify racism in any way, racism is like ignorance, and there is no excuse for it," he said. declared.

"A country like Italy should be a pioneer in this regard, considering the millions of Italians living abroad, you can not be both Italian and racist, you can not to be human and racist at the same time, "he said.

"I am supportive of my players until the end.If there are members of the team or club who do not want to deal with this disease, they have to leave."

"I support any fight against racism, we are on an equal footing," said midfielder Juve Blaise Matudei in a statement.

Patrice Evra, a former Juventus player, said: "Racial defamation is unacceptable in football and everywhere else in the world".

"Well, Moyne Keane has done his best to confront the racists and prove to them who is in charge." The world will be better if we love each other anyway.

Italian striker Mario Balotelli published a photo of Kane with Matoudi and wrote: "Despite our differences and our different destinies, there should be no difference between us, I condemn racism in all its forms and its source forever."
