On Saturday night, Leonardo Bonucci took no part in Juve’s match against Udinese, as he apparently sustained another injury setback.
And yet, the 34-year-old still made the news thanks to a notorious invitation from the Inter Ultras.
Last Wednesday, the center back was set to enter the pitch during the final minute of extra-time in the Italian Super Cup clash between the Bianconeri and Inter.
The Euro 2020 winner has recently cemented himself as a penalty kick expert, thus, Max Allegri was hoping to introduce him to lend a hand in the expected shootouts.
However, that wasn’t meant to be, as Alexis Sanchez scored a last-gasp winner for the Nerazzurri.
Few seconds later, the cameras showed a physical confrontation between an angry Bonucci and an Inter official called Cristiano Mozzillo.
Therefore, a section of Inter’s Ultras didn’t take it well, and have now challenged the defender who once wore their jersey for a fight, while using some insulting words in banner hung on a bridge in Milano.
“Bonucci, if you want to be a rogue, we are waiting for you at the little bar, you vile idiot,” reads the banner as reported by Calciomercato.
Juve FC say
Bonucci isn’t the type of man who refuses a challenge, however, he has now been handed an offer that he should wisely walk away from.
Even though the hot-tempered defender could have been provoked on Wednesday, his reaction was all wrong.
Leo can expect a hostile welcome when the next time he visits the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, but at this stage of his career, he has probably grown accustomed to it.
even when they lose, they`ll just take it to the courts to try to win. Merda cowards and thugs. Imagine threatening a player? Until someone with class wins Serie a again it is just slipping further into the darkness. Even napoli would be better than this.
Yep Serie B Champion if its what you mean
