Catania invent new way to distract the goalkeeper (and scar him for life)

By: Francesco | November 17th, 2008
   

Funny and odd thing happened in this weekend’s game between Catania and Torino. Catania had a free kick from about 25 yards out and Catania attacking midfielder Giuseppe Mascara lined up to take it. Everything looked routine, Torino goalkeeper Matteo Sereni set up his wall, and then something very strange occurred. Four Catania players moved themselves behind the Torino wall, forming their own wall of sorts, and Catania striker Gianvito Plasmati bent over, and pulled down his shorts, exposing himself to the Torino goalkeeper. As this was going on, Mascara took the free kick and scored. Could Plasmati’s little ’striptease’ have thrown off Sereni enough to distract him and prevent him from making the save? Videos after the jump.

Watch as the four Catania players drift off and form their own wall and distract Sereni.

  • Alessio - when doesn't Sicily riot? Don't confuse all of "Sicily" for Catania and its supporters...

  • Sereni has come out and claimed he didn't see anything...musta been pretty awful.

  • Never heard of anything like this before, but it's certainly worth a try. Whether it would work again or not is a different matter!

    FORZA CATANIA SEMPRE!! Good for them for being creative.
    Unsportsmanlike?? C'mon. All the ridiculous violent crap that goes on in Basketball, football(american), baseball... this is small potatoes.

    Maybe it was Plasmati's sexy, black man-panties:
