Alessandro Del Piero at Sky Sport’s microphones returned to Inter–Juventus and the Bastoni case: “It’s just nice that he apologized, along the lines of Marotta’s words. What happens on the field, in a particular game, must then lead to reasoning with a cool head and being able to say that he made a mistake, that he made a mistake. It does him honor, it is also nice”.

“I believe that, through mistakes, you can improve: that is the fundamental concept. Mistakes happen, the important thing is to take responsibility. No one is perfect, maybe Capello: one does things, analyzes them, and then takes responsibility”.

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 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.

Milan mayor Beppe Sala defending Sala said the’former Juventus captain also simulated: “Did he call me a simulator? I read, I was surprised. I never spoke about Bastoni in that specific context. In my career I have always responded on the field and off with the choices I have made and I have never publicly argued with a fan”.

“I respect the figure of the mayor and the institutions, I don&#8217t feel I should get into a soccer discussion with him. I am sure he has more important things to think about – concluded Del Piero ironically -I was glad that he had time to go and dredge up a video of mine and to answer me”.
