“The spat between Ibra and Lukaku is part of football, it’s normal,” he told Tuttomercatoweb.
“I read what they told each other, it’s nothing new, it happened the same to me and other footballers in the past,” he added.
“I remember when Maradona used to say all sort of things to me. He was telling me ‘Hijo de puta’, but a player does it to affect the opponent. Someone loses his cool, someone else waits for the revenge. I took my revenge.”
Inter and Milan meet again in a Serie A clash on February 21. What will happen between them?
“Time will tell. Maybe, if they’ll have a chance, one could step into the other’s foot. When these things are so blatant you carry them with you. Maybe nothing will happen or maybe one will try to take revenge.”
