Inter Milan's focus has shifted towards safeguarding player Alessandro Bastoni, who is likely to face mockery and verbal attacks on pitches across Italy after a recent incident. General Director Beppe Marotta took a public stance to defend Bastoni amid the media storm claiming that he is facing an excessive and unfair backlash for his actions. While acknowledging the player's mistake—deemed acceptable given his youth and experience—Marotta stated that various factors contributed to the situation, including the opponent’s actions and the referee's immediate decision.
