Acerbi, 37, has been in Luciano Spalletti’s squad for World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova on June 6 and 9, but the coach has confirmed the Inter defender has not accepted a call-up.
Acerbi has insisted his decision not to be included in the Italy squad was not a direct result of Inter’s 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, but rather because he disagreed with Spalletti.
Acerbi has hinted at a lack of respect from the team’s leaders amid initial allegations that Spalletti did not want to include Acerbi in his squad.
“After careful consideration, today I have informed the coach that I will not accept a call-up to the national team. This is not a choice I have made lightly, because wearing the Azzurri shirt has always been an honour and a source of pride for me,” Acerbi wrote on Instagram.
“However, given the recent events, the conditions to continue on this path are not there at the moment. I am not looking for excuses or help. I want respect, and if the person who should be leading the team lacks this respect, then I will step down.”
“I have always given everything, but I will not stay in the same place any longer, and it is clear that I am not part of the coach’s project,” he continued.
doohee “This is my decision and as I said to the coach this morning, it is not a final decision, it is not a decision made in anger, it is not a decision made in depression after losing the Champions League final. It is a necessity to take a step back.” ( doohee )
