In the pre-game of Inter-Empoli, Inter's CEO Beppe Marotta revisited the Acerbi-Juan Jesus case, aiming to put an end to the matter.
Marotta's Statements on the Acerbi Case
«We have deliberately kept quiet, it's a bitter page no matter how you look at it. We asked Acerbi what had happened on the field. He told us his truth, we had no doubts and we had no evidence of racial discrimination behavior against the opponent and we supported him with our lawyer". Marotta continued: «Inter is always in favor of any initiative against any discrimination. We condemn all forms of racism and stand by Juan Jesus from this point of view. The verdict must be respected, Acerbi is a professional, I don't think he can joke about these topics. I am not a judge, we asked for the account from our registered player and we have no doubts that it is the truth».
«Acerbi has been influenced by many attacks but is accustomed to facing life with great determination. He has had serious health problems, he is a man with a capital M. He will also come out from this issue. Juan Jesus? I haven't spoken with him, it's not up to us. I spoke with Acerbi and take note of what he has told us. I am not a judge, I do not issue a verdict on the version of the Napoli defender»
