This is the topic of the moment in Italy. During the clash between Naples and Inter, Neapolitan defender Juan Jesus was, according to him, insulted as a “negro” by Francesco Acerbi, Milan defender. During his return to Lombardy, in comments reported by the transalpine media, Acerbi gave his version of the facts.
“I didn’t say any racist words. Should we say 'fuck you' to racism? It’s obvious yes. I'm not afraid of a long suspension. Now let's see what happens, I'm going to speak to the club, for now I'm going home. I never said that. The only thing I can say is that racist phrases have never come out of my mouth. I apologized to him because in these moments it is only right to clarify. He (Juan Jesus) was wrong, I know I never said a racist sentence. These are our personal affairs with the Federation and will remain so. I'm sorry for leaving the national team gathering. On the issue of racism, I hope that the fight continues in all regions of the world. A lot of things are happening on the pitch, that's normal. We play football, we say certain things but when the referee blows the whistle, we shake hands and everything goes back to the way it was. I don't want to talk to Inter, I want to talk to my daughter first and explain”, he said. So, convincing or not?
