Juan Jesus, harsh retort to Francesco Acerbi

Juan Jesus responds to Francesco Acerbi

The words of Francesco Acerbi after his temporary exclusion from the national team displaced Juan Jesus, who on Monday evening, through his own social channels, wanted to respond to the version given a few hours earlier by the Inter defender, who had stated: "No words of that kind è came out of my mouth: è it was he who misunderstood".

"For me, the matter had closed yesterday on the field with Acerbi’s apology,” said the Napoli defender, “and honestly I would have preferred not to return to something as vile as what I had to suffer. Today, peró I read statements by Acerbi that are totally contrary to the realityà of the facts, with what he himself said yesterday on the field of play and with the evidence also shown by unequivocal footage and lips in which he asks me for forgiveness".

Juan Jesus, in his lengthy post, reported his version of events, adding new details about the dialogue that allegedly took place between him and Acerbi during the match between the Nerazzurri and the partenopei, played on Sunday night.

"Today he changed version and claims that there’è was no racist insult. I have nothing to add" pointed out the Brazilian footballer.
