Following a couple of disrespectful phrases extrapolated from a video posted, and then removed, by a Granata player on the bus that took Torino to Superga, Matteo Lovato and Pietro Pellegri clarified that they were not the ones who uttered the insults aimed at the fans present.
This is what Pellegri wrote on social media: “I accept criticism and I take all responsibility when I make mistakes. I respect the opinions of others, but I don’t accept being compared to a video that is circulating because my voice is not present. Pietro”.
Lovato did the same: “Turin and Torino FC are the most beautiful reality I have seen since I started playing football. I started loving Toro since I understood what it means to represent this club. Anyone who really knows me knows the deep respect and admiration, which I have always brought in life, to anyone! And I am also accused of having said something against our fans? I don’t accept it, because it is not part of who I am, and against the values I believe in!” .
“Superga was an incredible, strong and profound experience. Being part of Torino and having the opportunity to experience this day first hand is something unique that remains in the heart. An event that before yesterday I had only seen in the news pages And I am told that I have disrespected the fans and the club? I am accused of saying words that I would never have thought of, let alone said.” We read it on an Instagram story.
