Alessandro Bastoni, the Inter Milan defender, woke up this morning as a controversial figure in Italy after being at the center of events during his team's 3-2 victory over Juventus at Giuseppe Meazza, as part of the Italian league competition.

Bastoni caused the expulsion of Juventus player Pierre Kalulu after he received a second yellow card followed by a red card for allegedly obstructing and pulling the Nerazzurri defender, which led to public accusations against him of acting to get the foul.

Some sources and fans on social media have asserted that Bastoni does not deserve to join the Italian national team in the upcoming period due to his behavior on Saturday evening, as his actions were deemed a sports violation that does not align with the team's values.

Journalist Luca Calamai from the "Tutto Mercato" website questioned the player's merit to represent Italy on the global stage, calling on coach Gennaro Gattuso to consider excluding him from the lineup.

Sports analyst Alessandro Giacoboni wrote about the need to reconsider Bastoni's position within the national team, emphasizing that the unsportsmanlike behavior he displayed does not align with the values of the Italian team. He stated that Gattuso should seriously consider keeping the player out of the national team roster.
