Enter Enrico Varriale on what happened in the last minutes of the first half of Inter-Napoli but also in the aftermath of the match, when Cristian Chivu was very careful not to admit Alessandro Bastoni’s blatant simulation and tried to shift the focus to the slightest contact between Pierre Kalulu’s arms and the Nerazzurri, who was sprawled on the ground and jubilant at the unjust red card waved in the Bianconero’s face.

The Neapolitan journalist, a big fan of the Azzurri, reposted the Romanian coach&#8217s words on X with an explicit and direct comment: “Chivu: “I think a cautioned player should be careful about doing things that can put the’ referee in a position to make complex decisions, Kalulu should have thought about it before hitting Bastoni with a hand”. Confirmation of one who preaches well and rains very badly”.

“Yesterday l’won the Scudetto but Chivu lost face. For months beatified by newspapers and TV as the new prophet of ethical soccer, a hero of serious, non-whining communication, he commented thus on Kalulu’s ejection. Adequate to the null credibility of Italian football” Varriale continued.
