Kalulu expulsion, the'former Inter and Juventus man goes down hard

The expulsion received by Pierre Kalulu in the first half of the match between Inter Milan and Juventus continues to hold sway. The French defender, already cautioned, received just before halftime the second yellow card for an alleged foul on Alessandro Bastoni but replays clearly showed that the contact was very light and certainly not such as to be punished with a caution. Kalulu immediately asked referee La Penna to review the episode under VAR but, according to the rules, the on-field moviola cannot be used for cases like this.

At the microphones of DAZN Hernanes, who has worn both the Inter and Juventus jerseys, went down very hard commenting on the controversial episode: “This is no longer soccer. Inter plays the best soccer in Italy and will have the Scudetto in its pocket if Milan does not beat Como on Wednesday. The one against Inter, however, cannot be a defeat for Juventus because the Kalulu episode is there for all to see and I am angry about it. I am thinking that I might not accept ti DAZN’s invitation next year because there is no point in coming to talk about these things, about regulation”.

“I would like to talk about soccer – continued the former Brazilian soccer player – Attitudes like Bastoni’s must be fought. The mentality of Bastoni and Vergara (the Napoli player is accused of simulating in the match against Genoa, ed.) must be fought. Adrenaline leads you to do things on the field and it fits, but you need lucidity. This mentality must be fought because this is no longer football”. In the immediate aftermath of Inter-Juventus, Giorgio Chiellini spoke to Sky Sport microphones.

“You cannot talk about soccer, after what happened it becomes difficult. Something unacceptable happened, for the umpteenth time this season. Once it happens to us, once to others. From tomorrow we will probably change the VAR but it is not acceptable to make a mistake like that, it is not acceptable to ruin such a match” the Juventus legend sentenced.

“It is not acceptable that there is no proper level in a match like this– then thundered Giorgio Chiellini -. This is the show we give in the world. We have to change. We can no longer procrastinate. It has been pointed out by everyone since the beginning of the year that there is no adequate structure for the Serie A championship.”
