What does Pablo Mari say about the brutal incident?
Mari is quoted as saying to Galliani and Palladino: “I was lucky, because I saw a person die in front of me.”
“I had the trolley, with the baby inside. I felt excruciating pain in my back. After that I saw this man stab a person in the throat, in front of me. I’m fine, I’ll be on the field on Monday.”
Monza Chiefs CEO Adriano Galliani later said that what happened was dreadful and the store cashier also died. Galliani also said that Pablo Mari’s height helped him at the point because the person would have wanted to attack the player’s throat directly.
