When leaving the field after the match, El Shaarawy was seen crying. The player who entered the second half was not ashamed to wipe out the flowing tears. The incident was caught on television cameras.
El Shaarawy revealed that he cried because he felt sad over the allegations of Coronan ball gambling directed at him.
Yes, Corona was the first to dismantle a football gambling case by players. His confession dragged young midfielder Juventus Nicolo Fagioli who was later subject to a ban on playing for seven months.
After Fagioli, two Italian national team players, Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo, also called Corona, were involved in gambling. They are also waiting for sanctions if they are finally found guilty.
