Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu returned to the Bastoni case on the eve of the Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt. The Romanian coach had been harshly criticized by Juve coach Luciano Spalletti, who was surprised by his words about Kalulu: “I don&#8220t care what is said, maybe there is also a frustration that you are not able to handle…”.

“You have to accept that criticism is part of the game and that the team that is in the lead is always the most hated. This is what soccer has been like for a hundred years, there are episodes for or against, and you have to stop complaining and being self-righteous. Every Sunday things like this happen”, the Nerazzurri coach pointed out.

What happened in Inter-Juventus has triggered an endless series of negative comments in regards to Alessandro Bastoni
In regards to the Inter's footballer and the national team have come criticism from exponents of so many sectors…
"Race distorted by a well-known Nerazzurri stunt-man (any reference to Bastoni is purely intentional)": it was Ezio Greggio who said it.
"After that'episode I changed the channel and started watching a movie. It is not an acceptable stuff" cut short Adriano Panatta.
"He knew he simulated and he did that scene afterwards: it is the ugliest thing, even more dramatic" so Marco Tardelli.
"Such a scandalous thing I haven’t seen since April 26, 1998 Juve-Inter, the one of the penalty not whistled to Ronaldo" said Enrico Varriale.
"Bastoni did four things wrong, not sporting: the simulation, the caution call for Kalulu, the'jubilation after the ejection, and the gesture of the pulled jersey" argued Daniele Adani.
Johnson Righeira ironically suggested awarding him the title of “Sportsman of the Year 2026.”
"His a clear simulation – claims designator Rocchi -. The latest in a long series in a championship in which they try in every way to cheat us.”
"He made a bad impression" the thought of'former Milan player Massimo Ambrosini.
"Bastoni simulated, because that is the correct term to use" stresses former referee Luca Marelli.
"Bastoni not only simulates seriously, but what is seen, what is intolerable, tells how he mocks Kalulu" outrages Massimo Giletti.

"Simulation I have always hated it – lets know the'technical expert Gigi Cagni -. But not only me, all those my generation hated it".
"Bastoni should not be summoned to the national team" suggests the'former Premier Enrico Letta.
"Bastoni cheering when you know the referee has made a mistake and your opponent is desperate is a shameful thing" the opinion of Sandro Sabatini, among others former Inter's press bureau chief.

“Maradona made a hand goal and no one criticized him and we were also wronged in Naples and I say this for the first time. We move forward knowing that the season is still long, that we want to carry on what we have done and without forgetting how we were painted at the beginning of the season. We know where this group got to in February and maybe some people are not happy”.

On Bodo/Glimt: “We know it will be tough and we know the path of this club that started a few years ago, but also the growth of Norwegian soccer that has a national team that has qualified directly for the World Cup”.
