A lot of fuss at the summer club: middle finger and banned call – are there problems for Inter?

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

On a sporting level, things are going perfectly for Serie A leader Inter Milan. 19 wins in 23 league games, most recently a 4-2 win against AS Roma. However, this match could result in a suspension for two people from Yann Sommer’s (35) club.

Firstly, there is central defender Francesco Acerbi. The 36-year-old scored the 1-0 for the Nerazzurri early on, but the goal was checked by VAR. While the players wait on the field for the final decision, Acerbi is bombarded with insults from the Roma fans. His response: the extended middle finger.

The action had no immediate consequences because the referee team did not notice the gesture. The action of the 34-time Italian international, who played for Rome city rivals Lazio for a total of five years, is now on the table of competition officials. He risks a ban.

Forbidden phone call from coach Inzaghi?

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi served one this weekend due to too many yellow cards. However, the 47-year-old could also miss the next match. The reason for this would be quite bizarre.

If the coach is not in the dugout due to a suspension, he is prohibited from having any contact with the team during the match. Inter player Alessandro Bastoni (24) tells DAZN that his coach spoke to the team on the phone during the break: “Inzaghi called us in the dressing room and told us over the loudspeaker that we had to be ourselves again.”

Inter’s assistant coach Massimiliano Farris (52), who took the reins in Inzaghi’s absence, quickly made it clear that there was no direct contact: “There was communication between the coach and our staff as an intermediary.” Does this explanation help? The incident, like Acerbi’s middle finger, is now the subject of investigation.
