Inter players attacked in ambush(所以ac個場延後10分鐘)

Sunday 9 April, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several Inter players were physically attacked last night, with Cristiano Zanetti sustaining bruising, as tension spilled out into an ambush.

At approximately 2.30am last night in the car park of Milan's Malpensa airport, a group of Inter players was accosted by masked fans. Cristiano Zanetti came off worst, as he was struck on the back of the head and sustained bruising in the altercation.


"We cannot accept this kind of behaviour, as violence is beyond the pale," said President Giacinto Facchetti (pictured). "Anyone who calls themselves an Inter fan cannot condone this attack."


As a gesture of solidarity to their 'cousins', Milan asked to start their match with Chievo 10 minutes late in protest at the attack.


The San Siro giants are still dealing with the fall-out from their Champions League exit to Villarreal.


“Inter always manage to cause a stir in the media and I think it has been like that for a long time, going all the way back to when I was playing,” said the former defender.


The Nerazzurri were at the centre of a scandal this week when newspapers reported there was a locker-room fight between Adriano and Juan Sebastian Veron in Spain.


It was claimed the two came to blows both at the half-time break and after the final whistle of their Champions League exit to Villarreal. It’s a story that Coach Mancini has confirmed was leaked by someone within the squad.


“This club probably lets more stories out than most others, as I imagine many sides would’ve kept something like this to themselves,” added Facchetti. “With us, it seems as if they get published even when they are not 100 per cent true, like the claims about that fight.”


The President insisted that although there was a heated argument, it was not the wrestling match that some newspapers have painted it to be.


“I am not criticising the journalists, but certain things happen in every locker room. A player will tell off his teammate for missing a chance or not working within a tactical system. I do realise that these incidents leak out from Inter a lot more than they do elsewhere, at times even distorted to seem worse than they really are.”


The President tried to calm the suggestions that there is an Argentine clan within the Nerazzurri squad that has ganged up on Brazilian Adriano, contributing to his poor form.


“I read those reports the day after and asked Mancini what had happened. He said the allegations were untrue. Yes, the two players had an animated discussion, as is only to be expected when the team is losing, but nothing more than that. I’d rather believe what Mancini told me and not what I read in the newspapers.”

FACCHETTI: "THANKS FOR THE SOLIDARITY"
Sunday, 09 April 2006 15:05:47   
MILAN - "On behalf of the club and the team I want to thank Milan and their players for the solidarity shown towards Inter after what happened at Malpensa (airport) last night. If we all want to restore to football the true values of the sport we must remember, with facts, that rivalry never obscures reciprocal respect," said Giacinto Facchetti on Milan's decision to delay this afternoon's kick-off against Chievo by ten minutes.

Statement on AC Milan's official website:
Adriano Galliani explained why the Milan-Chievo game would start 10 minutes late: 'A request was made by our players. Alessandro Costacurta led the way, in that we want to show a gesture of solidarity with our Inter colleagues who were attacked at Malpensa airport on their return from Ascoli last night. Chievo president Campedelli agreed with us and accepted the decision in the correct manner.'

Zanetti explains Inter ambush Monday 10 April, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter midfielder Cristiano Zanetti has relived the tension filled moments when his teammates and himself were attacked by disgruntled fans.

Around 100 Nerazzurri followers awaited the squad at Malpensa airport in the early hours of Sunday morning, following the Ascoli win, to contest the side after their midweek Champions League exit.

Verbal insults were aimed at the players before a small section of fans started throwing objects, one which caused a cut to the Italian international’s head.

“We had gone through the border controls and there was a group of fans who limited themselves to the odd ironic comment,” Zanetti told the Controcampo publication on Monday.

“They were basically the same sort of comments that we had already heard on our return from Villarreal.

“We thought it was all over until we got to the car park to retrieve our cars. There was about 100 people there who were insulting us and throwing stones. One of these hit me.

“I was very concerned as nothing like that had ever happened before.”

There were claims that Zanetti had been targeted specifically by fans for accepting to join rivals Juventus at the end of the season.

But the former Roma player has dismissed that suggestion, insisting he was just unfortunate to have been the only one hurt in the incident.

“I don’t think Juventus had anything to do with it,” he added. “After all, I wasn’t the only player in the car park.

“There was also Javier Zanetti, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Pierre Wome and someone else I think,” he continued.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed rumours on Monday suggest that the Milan derby could be switched from Friday evening to an afternoon kick-off.

The authorities are concerned that Nerazzurri fans could use the event to cause more unrest, especially after last season’s abandoned Champions League derby.
