‼️🎙️ | Fabio Capello: “What happened at San Siro struck me for two main reasons. The first: a player like Bastoni, who is of international caliber and a key figure in our national team, absolutely cannot — and especially must not — behave like that. It was something very unpleasant for everyone who loves football to see him deceive the referee with such an obvious dive, especially considering he was already booked and therefore risked getting a second yellow card.
The second: I know Chivu very well — he was one of my players at Roma — but his post-match comments deeply disappointed me. The Inter coach was not consistent with what he had said the day before, and in the end, he gave the impression of justifying what happened. However, more than his words, his actions speak louder. Chivu substituted Bastoni at halftime because he knew exactly that the player was at risk if he stayed on the pitch after that ugly act that led to Kalulu’s red card. I would have expected statements of a completely different tone, especially after a victory.”
Chiellini never once talked about Inter post-game, not accusing them of anything, just focusing on the bad decision.
Marotta had time to sleep on it an deicided to talk about things happend years ago, leaving out key elements (random Bentnacur red) in that same game.
