Important words from the Nerazzurri president Beppe Marotta during the pre-match of Inter-Roma. Before Chivu‘s team destroyed the Giallorossi, even after an international break that had seen him as a negative protagonist, the whole case surrounding Alessandro Bastoni was brought up again.
“Bastoni is an asset of Inter and Italian football, and that’s how we consider him. I read that for him it’s almost mandatory to leave this shirt, but that’s not the case. Then, as with all players, these are matters we will address later on,” says Marotta, also referring to the rumors about a possible move to Barcelona. “The lynching against him is shameful, as if he were guilty of who knows what. The elimination from the World Cup has deeper roots, but aside from that, he does not deserve such treatment. People make mistakes in life, but in Italy we all have to become psychologists, football experts, without knowing what kind of man and professional we are dealing with. He made a mistake, but it’s normal to run into something like this at his age.”
