Juventus Coach Antonio Conte stood up for Esteban Cambiasso after the red card for a terrible challenge on Sebastian Giovinco.
The Inter midfielder was sent off in stoppages during the 2-1 San Siro result on Saturday after a studs-up tackle on Giovinco’s standing ankle.
As the Juve players ran towards him enraged, Conte stepped off the touchline to protect Cambiasso and calm the situation.
“It’s a shame for Cambiasso, as along with Javier Zanetti and Walter Samuel he is a player I really respect,” said the Coach.
“I have played against them and know how honest and fair they are. Esteban also made a nice gesture by coming into the locker room to apologise after the game.
“These players deserve nothing but praise. Esteban had a reaction that came out of frustration, but he didn’t intend to hurt Giovinco.”
