Melano’s big derby last night (Tuesday) set us up for a battle full of passions when on the professional level on the pitch he decided with a makeover and a dramatic 1: 2 of Inter over AC Milan in the 97th minute on the way to the next stage of the Italian Cup. However, the thing that occupied the media in the boot country is not the end result, but what happened on the way down to the locker rooms.
As you may recall, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romulo Lukaku clashed physically when the players and staff of both teams were forced to separate in the relegation half of the game, with each striker reportedly sending a bundle of curses at the other, even claiming that Zlatan made a racist statement towards the Belgian.
The next morning, at the front pages of Italian newspapers, they referred to the aggravated incident: “Shame,” “a brawl that ruined the celebration,” they should set an example and not look like that, “the local media wrote, among other things. On the professional side, Christian Eriksen, who received quite a few criticisms but answered with a polished free kick in the 97th minute, was mentioned: “The magician Eriksen”.
According to reports, after Lukaku cursed Zlatan’s mother, the latter responded: “Go make your voodoo,” when it comes to a religious ceremony that originated in West Africa and is interpreted as a racist statement. In Italy, it is reported that Zlatan has rejected the allegations of racism, claiming that the “voodoo” comment originated in an event of the Belgian striker from his time at Everton. As you may recall, Zlatan continued his nerves in the second half as well, in which he was sent off with Milan in the lead, and in fact decided her fate.
