At the moment of the penalty, the former Ajax player passed the ball to the Frenchman, resulting in a standing ovation from the crowd at the Bluenergy Stadium.

Minutes before the kickoff of the match against Cristian Chivu’s Parma, Udinese’s technical director, Gökhan Inler, gave several statements to Sky Sport’s microphones. Among the topics discussed, the Swiss clarified the incident involving Lorenzo Lucca. Indeed, the forward has been the protagonist of a tense moment with his teammates during the match against Lecce, when a dispute arose over who should take a penalty kick. Following are the words of the coach from Friuli: “We handled it well, he apologized to the team. “We have internally resolved the matter. These things happen in football, what’s important is that it is immediately resolved,” and the confirmation has come straight from the field itself. During the match against Parma, Udinese was awarded another penalty, but this time Lucca decided to quell any controversy by unhesitatingly leaving the ball in the hands of Florian Thauvin. A gesture that received the seal of approval from the audience at Bluenergy Stadium, who applauded their forward for his mature attitude. A resounding signal, marking the definitive closure of the case.
