Another player, Nicolò Zaniolo, says Dossena also said bad things about his children. Udinese says these words are very bad. They want the league to punish the player. But Cagliari says the story is not true. Alberto Dossena says he did not use racist words. His coach and teammate also say he is a good person. This stadium had similar problems before.
