Marotta: “The lynching of Bastoni is shameful, it’s an Inter heritage”

Beppe Marotta took up the shield and defended Bastoni with all his might: “The lynching of him is shameful, he remains an asset of Inter”. Before the match against Roma at San Siro, the Nerazzurri president spoke about Italy, the Azzurri center back and also the championship fight. “There are still 24 points to go, a victory would give us more stimulus, more motivation, more confidence, so it’s important to get a result. We are in an interim phase. The fight for salvation is also still in the balance and will be exciting.”

A comment also on what Bastoni is experiencing: “The lynching of him is shameful, as if he were guilty of who knows what.

The elimination from the World Cup has more distant origins, but apart from this it does not deserve similar treatment. We make mistakes in life, but in Italy we all have to become psychologists, football experts, without knowing what man and what professional we are dealing with. He made a mistake, but it’s normal to encounter something similar at his age.”

Marotta spoke thus of a possible transfer: “Bastoni is an asset of Inter and Italian football and we consider him as such. I read that it is almost obligatory for him to leave this shirt, but there are no such extremes. Then, as for all players, these will be issues that we will address later.” He ends with a small reflection on the status of Italian football: “There could be many causes. How come Friuli, a region that in the 1970s had great champions like Zoff, Collovati or others, no longer produces talent today? Since 2006, apart from the European Championship we won, we have no longer been competitive. We need to go back and understand. I would like a non-argumentative comparison, following a single path.”
