Internazionale defender Juan Jesus has questioned Giorgio Chiellini’s sresponse to his alleged elbow on him.

The Brazil international, who has been banned for three matches due to the altercation, felt it was unnecessary for Chiellini to push for him to be suspended and is disappointed with how the incident has been handled.

As I said, I didn’t mean to hit my adversary, and I explained this to him after the game,” he wrote on his official Facebook page.

“This is a man who spent his career repeating that what happens in the pitch stays in the pitch.

“So seeing him go on TV to ‘ask’ for my ban, for a colleague to be punished, was something that truly saddened me.

“Hearing him ‘call’ the Judge to see if he was going to ban me, the way he too had been banned in the past, represents in my opinion a terrible example in terms of sportsmanship, class and style. 

“It was a worst gesture than a real elbow blow. And I thank him for this. Today I am more of an Interista than I’ve ever been.”
