The Juventus defender pointed to the pair in his next autobiography, but is now on the receiving end
Felipe Melo and Mario Balotelli have responded explosively to derogatory comments directed at the couple by Giorgio Chiellini.
In excerpts from the Juventus defender’s upcoming autobiography, both players were criticized.
“Balotelli is a negative person with no respect for the team,” Chiellini said of his former teammate in Italy.
“In 2013, in the Confederations Cup against Brazil, it didn’t help us at all. He deserved a slap.
But even worse was saved for Melo, the Brazilian midfielder who represented both Juve and his rivals Inter.
“Felipe Melo is even worse: the worst of the worst,” wrote Chiellini.
“I can’t stand disrespectful people, those who always want to go against the grain. There was always a fight with him. I said to the coaches: It’s a bad apple. “
Now Melo, speaking to Gazzetta dello SportChiellini says “he shitted himself out of fear,” calling him for making his comments in his autobiography rather than on Melo’s face.
“First of all, it would be interesting to know what episodes he is referring to,” Melo reflected.
“When I was in Turin, I never disrespected anyone: my teammates, the managers, Juventus in general.
“At this point, however, I don’t respect him and I never will.
“Does he say that Balotelli should be slapped and that I am the worst of the worst because he always risked fighting for me?
“Well, he always bothered with fear. Sorry, but it’s too easy to speak ill of others with a book.
“Perhaps ‘this defender’ is still mad at me because when I went to Galatasaray, we kicked them out of the Champions League.
“Perhaps it is because Inter won everything and I am an Interista.
“And another thing comes to my mind: we beat Italy 3-0 in the 2009 Confederations Cup and we won it.
“Perhaps that is why he is torturing himself. In addition, internationally, he has won nothing.
In conclusion, saying certain things is not professional. This is disrespect. I will stop here and add nothing else; certain things must remain in the locker room. ”
Balotelli was also unlikely to accept Chiellini’s comments, and he responded on Instagram.

“At least I have the sincerity and courage to say things face to face,” he wrote in his story.
“You have had many opportunities since 2013 to behave like a real man, but you didn’t, who knows what you will say one day about your current teammates.
“Strange Captain. If that’s what being a champion means, I’d rather not be, and I never disrespected the blue jersey.”
