On the eve of the match with Galatasaray Istanbul, scheduled tomorrow evening in the Champions League play-off, the Italian coach Luciano Spalletti (66 years old), from Juventus Torino, attacked his former student from AS Roma from 2005-2007, Cristian Chivu (45 years old), now a technician at Inter Milan.

The aftermath of Saturday's derby, won by Inter 3-2, is still fresh. Frenchman Pierre Kalulu was sent off for free, and at the end, Chivu had harsh words for the wronged man.
“Kalulu touches Bastoni. And given the yellow card, you have to keep your hands at home. As a player, I would not have laid hands on an opponent with a yellow card. Especially if you are anticipated and there is a possibility of a counterattack”, said Chivu, immediately attacked by other former internationals for the lack of fair play.
Spalletti, however, was harsher, claiming that the Resisi player made a “fool” of his student, who would have acted indiscriminately in the 42nd minute phase (he already had a yellow card). replays showed that Bastoni was not fouled and Kalulu was unfairly punished by the referee with a sending off.
“I am sorry that a good guy like Pierre Kalulu, after suffering two such colossal injustices. He had to be called a fool by Chivu… That gives me the opportunity to talk about Inter's players, and that's something I don't want to do. I know Cristian well, he will have realized that he did that”.
