Acerbi leaves a national team after Champions League debacle!
Francesco Acerbi ended his career in the Italian national team, and that after a bitter Champions League final defeat with Inter Milan against Paris SG, which ended 0: 5. This decision was made not only because of the game, but also because of a breach of trust in communication with national coach Luciano Spalletti. Acerbi expressed his disappointment on the lack of appreciation on social media, especially after Spalletti raised doubts about his nomination. In conversation with the reasons for his withdrawal, the 37-year-old made it clear that the defeat in the final was not the main reason, but the current conditions that do not enable a continuation of his career in the national team.
acerbi had previously made aware of a strong performance in the semi -finals against Barcelona when he scored a decisive goal. Nevertheless, the defender sees that it is time to end his national team career, as the Squadra Azzurra starts the World Cup qualification on Friday and another home game against Moldova is due.
allegations and resignation
In addition to the sporting challenges, Acerbi was also affected by allegations of racist insult to the Napoli defender Juan Jesus. These allegations come from a controversial game between Inter and Napoli, which ended 1-1. Acerbi vehemently denied the allegations and explained his version of the events to the national coach Spalletti and his teammates. According to the Italian Football Association (FIGC), there was no evidence of insulting or racist intentions from Acerbi's page.As a result of the incidents, it was decided that Acerbi will not take part in the upcoming friendly games against Venezuela and Ecuador. The Roma defender Gianluca Mancini has been appointed to the squad.
racism in Italian football
The incidents around Acerbi reflect a bigger problem that has been burdening Italian football for years: racism and discriminatory behavior in the stands and in the stadium. The debate about the responsibility of players and associations in these affairs is still an important topic in Italian football. Acerbi and other players are always faced with the challenge of fighting against such prejudices and discrimination, both on and next to the square.
The upcoming games of the Italian national team are under special observation in this context. Fans and officials are required to position themselves clearly against racism and to promote a respectful atmosphere.
