During the match, Juan Jesus approached the referee La Penna and pointed to Acerbi: " It doesn't suit me, he told me 'you're a nigger' and that doesn't suit me ", he reported to the match director, who took no action . After the match, Juan Jesus himself toned down the story: «On the pitch he's telling us everything, he saw that he went too far and apologised. He's a good guy, he apologized and when the referee blows his whistle everything is fine. I hope it doesn't happen again, he's a smart boy ."
During the Inter-Napoli match yesterday Juan Jesus was caught on camera telling the referee that Acerbi “called me a n***o.” 😳
However, in the post-match interview, Juan Jesus stated:
🗣️ “He apologised and we can move on. When the referee blows the whistle, it is all behind us.
“I know that Acerbi is a good lad and he apologised because he realised that he had gone a bit over the top with some words. He is an intelligent guy, so I hope he learns from it and won’t do it again.”
The fact is that Acerbi will not leave for the US tour with the national team. The defender, who arrived at the training camp in Rome, clarified to coach Luciano Spalletti and his teammates that he had no discriminatory intent, but it was still decided to exclude him "for the necessary serenity of the national team and the player himself" . Roma player Gianluca Mancini arrives in his place.
