Although a day has passed since Inter-Juventus, the tension shows no signs of abating. The expulsion of Pierre Kalulu, an episode that marked the derby d’Italia (which later ended 3-2 for the Nerazzurri), continues to produce tremors off the field, and the latest of these comes directly from the top echelons of the Bianconeri galaxy: according to reports from Ansa, in fact, Exor chairman John Elkann reportedly telephoned FIGC president Gabriele Gravina to express “strong disappointment” toward La Penna’s refereeing at the San Siro.

Elkann reportedly expressed concern over the numerous refereeing errors, urging the’identification of effective solutions to improve the overall picture. The Agnelli family heir executive would then in turn support the statements made to the media on Saturday evening by CEO Damien Comolli and Director of Football Strategy Giorgio Chiellini, hoping that work would be done to prevent such episodes from happening again in the future.

The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you have to rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

Chiellini, speaking at the end of Saturday’s match, had been very harsh: “After what happened it is difficult to talk about soccer – the words of the former Bianconeri captain, who after a spell in North America has returned to Juventus by undertaking a managerial role. Something unacceptable happened again, you can not ruin a game of this level. This is a spectacle we give in the world, we need to change immediately without procrastination as often happens in Italian football”.

“We have been pointing out since the beginning of the year that there is no adequate structure for the league, it cannot continue like this. Decisions like the one made tonight (Saturday night, ed.) cannot be made so lightly” Chiellini added, echoing the club&#8221s discontent with the match direction.

The incident of Kalulu’s ejection sparked not only controversy between the two clubs, but also a heated debate on social media. The issue is destined to still make fans and insiders debate, not only on the microphone but also on the ground of social networks, which literally exploded during and after the match between the Nerazzurri and Bianconeri.
