La Curva Nord

Police makes things worse.

Tickets shouldn't be sold at the Curva, end of story. People who think they'll watch the game or be part of an experience should be fully aware of what they're signing up to.

If you like to see the Curva singing and demonstrating flags and coreos, watch them from afar. If youre not one of them, you're not very likely going to enjoy their ways.

Yeah, they should limit the area where Ultra groups can be and indeed not sell tickets to those areas at all (reserved only for ultra groups).

Police have banned 4. Better then the usual response but far from enough.

Ultras on the other and is a culture of violence. It has nothing to do with sportsmanship , nothing to do with the love for the club and nothing to do with the atmosphere in the match. Ultras culture needs to be punished by law and the leaders who incite violent behavior need to be identified and arrested as simple as that.
I have been part of both worlds ( ultras and just normal fun clubs) and i can tell you that there is a major difference between them. Both are fans of the club but ultrases do not love it more than the others , nor sacrifice more they just like the culture of violence. As a fun club you gather , you discuss about the match , the players , the tactics and together go watch the match.
As an ultras , you gather , you do discuss about the team but mostly you focus on the opposition fans , you plan what to do to SHOW them , how to steal their banners , how to throw blasters on their side of the stadium and how to make noise. As an ultras you want to be noticed , you want the medias to speak about you and you want to be PART of the match. As a club fan , you don't want to be a protagonist , you go there to serve the club ( cheer to motivate) not for the club to serve you.

Inter ultras groups realised they went too far when threatening and pushing ticket-paying fans to leave the stands at San Siro to honour a dead criminal and are trying to mend some bridges. ‘We want to move on, united.’

The incident occurred during half-time of Inter’s Serie A match against Sampdoria on October 29. News came through that one of the historic ultras leaders, a man in his 70s who had a long rap sheet including drug dealing and kidnap, had been shot and killed in an ambush outside his home. To honour him, the ultras all left the Curva Nord section of the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, but also insisted that all other fans also vacate the area, doing so with threats and physical violence, even towards families with children.

That prompted questions in parliament, a clampdown on security and turned many of the regular fans against them, which is why this evening the Curva Nord representatives released a statement trying to repair some of the damage.

“Go forward, go beyond, be united,” was the title of the statement.
“Interisti brothers, after a period of reflection, we want to discuss the incidents that occurred during Inter-Sampdoria on October 29.
“We want to send out a sign of peace towards the Nerazzurri population and those who hold Inter in their heart. That was a tragic day for us, which stunned us, took us by surprise and left us disorientated.
“Unfortunately, in the media we were painted (unjustly) as monsters. We are accustomed to that and do not care. The reality is very different.
“However, what is important to us now is rebuilding that bond that has torn with those Inter fans who were in the Curva that day.
“This is not the place to go into specifics of what happened. What is evident to everyone is that this event generated an internal short-circuit where not everything went the way we would’ve liked.
“Some unpleasant and uncontrollable incidents have been reported to us that involved people outside the dynamics of the curva.
“In those chaotic moments, we lacked some fundamental communication and probably some people made mistakes, so for that, we apologise.
“The Curva Nord, in those tragic moments, decided to abandon the section of the stadium out of respect to his family, putting the sporting event in the background.
“It was a choice that might or might not be agreed with, but was misunderstood in its deepest motivation. We want to move on, united.
“So we ask all those who felt offended by the methods used by certain individuals to contact us so we can try to clarify the situation that has been created.
“Our hope is to have everyone with us who has Inter in their heart once the season resumes.”

Curva Nord – Federico Dimarco Made Mistake Personally Insulting AC Milan Fans​

The Nord have made their own response to this incident.

The Nord’s interpretation is that the Sud had reason to be upset with one particular chant from Dimarco.

A represeentative of the ultras group gave their statement on their Instagram page:

“What happened is an unpleasant matter.

“Federico is a fan favourite, we love him madly because he came through our academy, and therefore he means something special to us.

“In our opinion, he made a mistake to begin with.

“Federico is a young man with lots of heart.

“He felt the importance of that win deep inside, and he wanted to express his happiness with levity.

“As he admitted, though, he sang some chants that went beyond the normal banter between Inter and Milan.

“What usually happens is that players engage in banter aimed at the opposition clubs, or make fun about Inter’s wins over Milan or vice-versa,” the Nord explains their rationale.

“Federico did something a little different.

“He sang a chant the Curva Nord no longer sings for some time now.

“This is because of a political choice, to not talk about physical altercations.

“However, Federico ignored that, and initiated a chant that cut to the bone for Milan fans.

“It’s fine to banter about one team going to the final, but we would have been annoyed if a Milan player took a shot at our Curva.

“He fell into the trap of insulting the Milan Curva, and they have every reason to feel angry about this incident.

“We’ve taken the position of the player who apologized,” the Curva Nord continued.

“We are inclined towards defending Federico and defending him. He was humble and apologized.

“Banter is legitimate if it pertains to the clubs, but any banter aimed at the Curvas runs the risk of affecting certain delicate balances.

“There’s a pact that has been around for generations. There’s a lot of respect.

“There are people in the Curva Nord with family members in the Curva Sud. There are personal friendships due to the fact that our children go to school together.

“When the banter becomes about the fans, it goes off-script.

“There’s a climate of peace, but we dissociate ourselves from what’s written in the newspapers.

“We’re correct in having accepted Dimarco’s apology,” the Nord respresentative states.

“And to show the Sud that the young man made a mistake, and they understood this.

“Now everyone goes their own way. No more need for any revenge – the story ends here” the statement ends.

Once again Curva Nord shows they're first ultras and then Interisti.
