Liverpool supporters have adopted a chant for Federico Chiesa that references Turin and Juventus, sung to the tune of Dean Martin's Sway. The lyrics include lines about "crying in Turin" and a derogatory reference to Juventus, prompting debate among fans and commentators. Some view the Turin reference as potentially linked to the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster, which killed 39 people and injured hundreds. Critics described the chant as tone-deaf and uncomfortable, while others defended it as a light-hearted song celebrating a player who moved from Juventus and scored on the opening night.
Sung to the tune of Sway by Dean Martin, the lyrics are: "We can hear them crying in Turin, "Federico, he's here to win. "One chat with Arne Slot and he said 'ciao', "[Expletive] Juve, I'm a Kopite now." Some see the reference to 'crying in Turin' as sensitive because it could be perceived to be linked to the Heysel Stadium disaster.
Some see the reference to 'crying in Turin' as sensitive because it could be perceived to be linked to the Heysel Stadium disaster. Heysel hosted the 1985 European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus, who are based in Turin. Before the match, 39 people died and 600 were injured when, after crowd trouble, fans were crushed against a wall that then collapsed. Among those killed were 32 Italians, four Belgians, two French fans and one from Northern Ireland.
