“Otherwise we faced a very strong team. I really liked the spirit we showed, too bad we didn’t find the goal that maybe we would have deserved. The boys put great attitude on the field. We should not despair: we recover some players who can give us solutions and structure, and we will play with four or five other teams the chance to stay in the category.” Returning to the Audero case, of very few words instead was Cristian Chivu: “If the president has spoken, I take the voice of the club and agree with what was said”.

“I would like to condemn a gesture like this– were the very stern words to ‘DAZN’ from Beppe Marotta, president of Inter -. It has nothing to do with the values of sport, and it is absolutely insulting. The sorrow is great and it is not only mine. To share it is practically the entirety of Inter fans”. A comment also on the Cremonese goalkeeper: “I express my great appreciation for the professionalism of Audero. With his behavior he helped defend his goal and carry the game to the end”.

Also dry was Lautaro Martinez, who in turn spoke to the microphones of ‘DAZN’. “These things must not happen. There’s a risk of a person getting hurt. We have to be careful, because we give a show that is seen all over the world. I want to apologize to Audero and to all the Cremonese fans” said the Inter Milan captain.

Just within minutes of the chaos over the’unfortunate incident, Lautaro Martinez had gone to ask the Beneamata fans to calm down while Audero, who played for Inter in the 2023-24 season and is now owned by Como, reassured everyone and so the match restarted.
