Skriniar, Cassano against Caressa: “You are incompetent” – Corriere.it

Antonio Cassano protagonist of the umpteenth outburst during the last episode of the Bobo TV. Bastian on the contrary, the former talent from Bari Vecchia, this time has destined his rather excessive “trips” to the Sky Sport journalist, Fabio Caressa. He was prompted by Caressa’s statements on Skriniar, sent off in the match that Inter lost against Empoli (1-0) and one step away from PSG (perhaps already this January, otherwise in June on a free transfer) after having rejected the renewal proposal – 6.5 million euros per season for five years, he would have been the highest paid defender in Serie A – advanced by the Viale Liberazione club. «In Italy there are too many incompetent people. And there is a name and a surname to do, I do it. I don’t offend, but I expose myself. When in Italy Mr. Fabio Caressa says “Skriniar goes away anyway, for me it’s better Bashkir”, with all due respect to Baschirotto, but what am I talking about? Not football. These people are incompetent standing there.”

The attack on the journalist

To then increase the dose: «Dear Caressa, why are you there? Can you give me a valid reason why you are there? Is he there doing what? To say some time ago “there are many Messi”. He criticized Di Maria. Now I’m going to hear what? “Skriniar go away, bye. Baschirotto is the same thing, Skriniar doesn’t let me win the championships anyway”. It’s a flooded river, Cassano. «What are we talking about? I hope Baschirotto can have a career at Real Madrid.” And he insists: «What are we talking about? Of people who want to have an extra click, who name them for a moment. Now I tell him: Fabio Caressa, you don’t understand a m…..».

The other controversies

It is not the first time that Cassano has become furious both as a player and speaking during Bobo TV. During the World Cup in Qatar, for example, he lashed out against Richarlison’s bicycle kick, author of the brace in the match between Brazil and Serbia, won by the Seleçao 2-0 (November 24, 2022): «The truth is that he missed the stop and the reverse came out. It has nothing to do with the Brazilian forwards and then he scored into an empty net,” he said. Or again, a month earlier (October 2022), the controversy with Luciano Moggi. The theme? Cristiano Ronaldo. «Dear Antonio, are you saying that it’s been four years since Cristiano Ronaldo can’t take it anymore? I take the liberty of suggesting reading the fable “the fox and the grapes” and treasuring his morals », said the former Juventus manager.

The attack on Moggi

Cassano’s response was timely: «I feel like laughing. I start from the assumption that Moggi pissed me off four, five times last year, saying: “Antò, do me a favor, come to the programs he does on the canvases I don’t know”. I said: “Listen director, leave it alone”. Dear Luciano, in my life I have never been envious of anything or anyone. I’ve always been happy, I earned, I had fun. I’m not envious of Cristiano Ronaldo, I give my opinion and I keep saying it, that he hasn’t been able to take it for three years and it doesn’t stand. You have made some disasters in the last 20 years and you have to shut up if we talk about morals. When I go around the world, I can do it with my head held high, while you, on the other hand, have ridiculed the millions of fans of the team you were managing (Juventus, ndc), creating disasters. After 20 years, I was right to refuse your Juve twice. If I had dealt with you as a manager after two minutes I would have pinned you to the wall.

Maradona’s Naples

Finally, just to recall another striking episode, the controversy triggered by Cassano over the Napoli championship won in 1987. When to exalt Diego Armando Maradona he defined that team as “runaways”. Angry Alessandro Renica, defender and leader of those blues, Fernando De Napoli, Beppe Bruscolotti and Ciro Ferrara: “Hi Antonio – wrote the former defender of Naples and Juventus on his Instagram profile -, you talk about things you obviously don’t know well, in a language you master even less. On May 10, 1987, while we were winning the first Scudetto in the history of Naples, you hadn’t turned 5 yet and you were taking a bottle. Shut up, that’s better. Diego would never have wanted a “phenomenon” like you in his locker room. Signed: nu escaped ‘e casa».
