Accused by Juan Jesus of having insulted him as a “nigger” during the last Serie A match between Inter and Napoli, Francesco Acerbi (36) is in full tumult. The Italian defender was excluded from the Italian selection, pending this situation being clarified by the League. His club, Inter Milan, wanted to have explanations from their player before taking any action. According to the Italian media Sports Mediasetthe club and its player explained themselves yesterday.
The defender reiterated what he had first said to his coach Luciano Spalletti and that he had not used racist insults towards the Brazilian player. The Milanese club will therefore await the decisions of the sports judge and the result before the federal prosecutor's office. The Nerazzurri, historically committed to the fight against racism, do not want to let this type of action take place.
