Alessandro Bastoni's nightmare: now he has become an enemy for all of Italy

A real nightmare. Alessandro Bastoni has become an enemy for all of Italian soccer (except for Inter fans). He understood it perfectly in Lecce, at the Via del Mare. In the match between the Salentini and the Nerazzurri, exactly one week after what happened during Inter-Juventus, with the simulation of the Nerazzurri defender and the expulsion of Pierre Kalulu that exploded the debate among fans and insiders, the Lecce supporters wanted to show their dissent against the Inter player, who was put under pressure with broadsides of whistles from the first minutes.

After the media pillorying, Alessandro Bastoni put on his face, apologizing for what happened during the Derby d’Italia. “It“s true, I accentuated the fall after the contact with my opponent to try to take advantage, I say it without problems. I put my face on it since I am the most talked about person in the last few hours, I admit it and I take responsibility” his clear words. They don”t seem to have been of much use after what we saw in Lecce.

A delicate situation, difficult to manage. Cristian Chivu, coach of Inter, has, again, defended his player in the post-match of the Lecce challenge: “From my point of view it is a closed chapter. I really appreciate his professionalism, but also from the human point of view he understood the mistake and this does him credit. He is aware that first of all there&#8217s the team” his words.

By virtue of the caution in the final match with the Salentini, Alessandro Bastoni will miss the next challenge with Genoa. In light of the situation that has arisen, it seems as much positive news. A few days away from the spotlight could be good for him.

He will be back available for the Derby with AC Milan, scheduled for next March 8. Of course, even then, there will be no shortage of booing but, in this case, the Diavolo fans will spare no Nerazzurri player. It’s all about the Derby.
