Bastoni Under Siege: The Fallout from the Derby d'Italia
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni finds himself at the epicenter of a media storm, a whirlwind ignited by a controversial incident in the recent Derby d'Italia against Juventus. This contentious moment notably saw Pierre Kalulu wrongly sent off, a decision that has fueled a week-long debate across Italy.
The repercussions were immediate and visceral. During Inter's recent match against Lecce, boos rained down from the stands every time Bastoni touched the ball or made a challenge. Speaking from Appiano Gentile, Christian Chivu, the Inter boss, candidly admitted that the relentless external noise has made life incredibly difficult for his Italian international star.
