World football stopped on Tuesday, December 12, with the brutal attack that the Turkish referee Umut Meler received after the end of the duel between Ankaragucu and Rizespor. The reactions of the football universe did not take long to arrive, all stunned by what happened and unable to believe how something like this continues to happen.
" Halil Umut Meler is a good referee and a good person. Neither the referee nor the man deserved to experience what he had in Ankara. He was doing his job when he was attacked on the playing field at the end of a game.
The image of Umu lying on the ground, with his hands protecting his head, while the attackers kicked him, as well as that of the bruise under his eye, are terrible ", - says the famous former Italian referee, Pierluixhi Kolina.
The latter, head of the soccer referees sector in FIFA, wanted to express his concern about what happened in Ankara, describing as cancer the type of action of the Turkish president, who was finally arrested by the Turkish police.
However, the charismatic former referee did not want to ignore the fact that these types of actions are suffered by thousands of others around the world: " The vast majority of them are young referees at the beginning of their careers.
Their cars can't be bombed or burned because they didn't give a penalty, the word goes. And worst of all, this is not an exaggeration. It is everyone's responsibility to act and do something before it is too late, before this cancer destroys football ."
