Inter terrified by what happened on the field of Cremonese, well beyond the 2-0 victory that allows to stretch in the standings on Milan second. The match at the Zini stadium was in fact heavily affected by what happened at 49′, when a firecracker thrown from the stands of the Nerazzurri fans fell near home goalkeeper Emil Audero. After a brief suspension, the match resumed and then ended, but the condemnation from Beppe Marotta and also the players of the leading team (starting with Lautaro Martinez) is unanimous.

“I would like to condemn a gesture like this – were the very stern words to ‘DAZN’ from Beppe Marotta, president of Inter -. It has nothing to do with the values of sport, and it is absolutely insulting. The sorrow is great and it is not only mine. To share it is practically the entirety of Inter fans”. A comment also on the Cremonese goalkeeper: “I express my great appreciation for the professionalism of Audero. With his behavior he helped defend his goal and carry the game to the end”.

The matter, however, promises not to end here, an aspect on which Marotta himself has decided not to back down in any way. “I know that the authorities are making the appropriate investigations – added the Inter president’Inter -. As far as we know, it would be an isolated gesture. In any case it will come to those responsible”. In case Audero had asked to be replaced, concrete would have been the risk of an appeal by Cremonese. Drastic also would have been the possible action by the Giudice Sportivo.

Also dry was Lautaro Martinez, who in turn spoke to the microphones of ‘DAZN’. “These things must not happen. There’s a risk of a person getting hurt. We have to be careful, because we give a show that is seen all over the world. I want to apologize to Audero and to all the Cremonese fans” said the Inter’Inter captain.

Just within minutes of the chaos over the’unfortunate incident, Lautaro Martinez had gone to ask Beneamata fans to calm down while Audero, who played for Inter in the 2023-24 season and is now owned by Como, reassured everyone and so the match resumed.
