Tensions are rising within Inter Milan following a controversial red card given to player Kalulu during the Inter-Juventus match for a dubious foul, sparking ongoing debates that also involve noted writer Roberto Saviano. In a recent Instagram post, Saviano launched a personal attack against Beppe Marotta, stating that as long as Marotta holds a position in Italian football, there will be a prevailing notion that the championships are rigged. He highlighted the frustration of former player Chiellini, suggesting it reflects a broader understanding of how things operate under Marotta’s influence.

Saviano's comments come at a time when accusations of corruption and organized crime, particularly the 'ndrangheta's infiltration in organized fan clubs, cast a shadow over Italian football. He asserts that even if Inter were to win the championship, it would be tainted and lack value due to the pervasive suspicion of manipulation. This statement underscores not only personal grievances but broader concerns regarding the integrity and transparency in the sport.

Marotta's response to Saviano's remarks was dismissive, indicating that he is unfamiliar with the writer and the nature of his criticism. This exchange highlights an ongoing battle over public perception and accountability within Italian football, particularly at a time when fans and pundits alike are calling for greater scrutiny and reform to ensure fair play in the sport. The accusations and the resulting dialogue could have significant implications on how football governance is perceived and managed in Italy moving forward.
