It is certainly not the first time that the champion Paola Enogu is at the center of episodes racists that go to harm his career. We should only tell about its great ones successes in sport and instead we find, once again, how difficult it is to be in his shoes. Too many times she has in fact been targeted and attacked since according to many she “It's not really Italian”.
A video lesson of the young woman in which she talks to her attorney Marco Reguzzoni in which Egonu suffers from new words thrown against the color of her skin. Racist insults that have now devastated the sportswoman who, at the end of the game, had declared "This is the last match with the national team". Yes, because words can be painful enough to leave your dream.

Il attorney however he wanted specify that those words were a simple, and justified, outlet:
“This is an outburst at the end of the game - said Reguzzoni - after a disappointment. Paola did not deliver a good game and was attacked hard for not reaching the goal of the final. She told me that she was in trouble, that she is not well […]. He's a human being, and his was just an outlet that ends there “.
It was then the same paola egono to motivate his words to Sky Sport:
“It's bad to say, I wouldn't want to take away merit or respect from my teammates, but that is always me. We always go to see how I was wrong, how I could have done better. Mentally I have reached the point where I would like to have a free summer to disconnect and appreciate even more what I do. I don't know when this all started. Obviously it is a beautiful thing because I always take the weight and since I have been in the national team we have always done the result, I always thank my team-mates with whom we have done this work but when the negative part happens and it gets lost ... it makes me laugh to think that I have read people who have asked me why I am Italian. I wonder why I have to represent even those who ask me if I am Italian. I put my soul into it, I put my heart into it, I never lack respect for anyone and it hurts ”.
The sportswoman then explicitly stated of not wanting to leave the national team, but wanting to take one short break to disconnect a little.
