Canes-Kalulu, Beppe Sala stymied: "Now they’re censors"

The episode that led to the expulsion of Pierre Kalulu, who received a second caution for a light touch on Alessandro Bastoni in the derby d’Italia between Inter and Juventus, continues to cause tremendous discussion. Also having his say on the contact between the Juventus defender and the Nerazzurri defender was Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala, on the sidelines of an event at the Milan Triennale.

“Certainly Bastoni made a mistake – he stressed -. Then, I see commentators who in their careers have made incredible simulations: there are footage around of Chiellini and Del Piero who made incredible simulations and who are now censors. I am biased because Inter is my favorite team but let&#8217s take it easy.

“It&#8220s not so much that but it&#8217s because they unleash an anger and violence on social media that has negative effects – added the first citizen of the city of Milan.”

Having said that, it&#8217s clear that Bastoni made a mistake: he knows it too as he” a smart guy.

Fabrizio Biasin, influencer and well-known journalist of the Inter faith, decided to stand up for Alessandro Bastoni and did so through a post on X: “Alessandro Bastoni made a mistake, and that is a fact. Was it a good thing to see? No, certain things “make matches ugly” (reaction on the ejection included). Like him, every single week, so many people make mistakes, this does not justify him at all, but neither should it make him feel ‘more wrong’ than others”.

Ezio Greggio, a famous comedian who has never hidden his Juventus faith, was not tender with the Inter defender: “Great game by Juventus in a match distorted by a notorious Nerazzurri stunt-man (any reference to Bastoni is purely intentional), a disgraceful regulation and referee” he wrote on social media.
