Hulk, I have nothing against him, I always saw the guy as a “I love the sport let me just play in peace”, but journalists presented him as an incredible phenomenon during WC and people set their expectations high

It’s a good player but definitely not a world class one

Barella had a steady growth, but when he got to Inter, his power peaked to the stars, becoming a key player for both Inter and Italian national team

Played in major competitions finals and has an insane 31 game without losing record with Italy team (previous was 22)

I had to cite him because he is from where I live and he played for Cagliari (my hometown) and we love him, he might be the greatest Sardinian player ever after Gigi Riva, I am pretty sure he is already better than Gianfranco Zola

I didn’t follow the whole story but to make it short I think betting on your team winning is not immoral and shouldn’t get punished, but I get that just banning betting at all is easier rather than introducing legal loops that good lawyers can fuck with

Betting on your team means you have to play at your best, it’s not like boycotting a game so that you can earn money like a lot of people especially in Italy previously did multiple times

Obviously rules are rules and rules have been broken, all players deserve the punishment
