Giuseppe Marotta, the CEO of Inter, expressed strong indignation regarding the “Bastoni case,” calling the situation “shameful.” He then used the metaphor of the Friuli region to analyze and explain the roots of the crisis in Italian football and the national team.
Marotta stated that Inter’s defender, Alessandro Bastoni, has been subjected to an “absurd media lynching,” emphasizing that Italy’s failure to qualify for the World Cup cannot be attributed to him. He continued his analysis of the national team’s situation, which he believes is “increasingly marginalized,” attributing the cause to a “lack of talent” and a tendency for people to “fight among ourselves” rather than working together.
