Davide Calabria, the AC Milan defender, issued a sort of official statement on Instagram, writing the following:
"Hello everyone. I feel the need to clarify a few things.
In recent months, I’ve let many things slide, avoiding responding to ‘unpleasant’ or fabricated situations to save time and energy. Perhaps I should have addressed them earlier. Today, I believe it’s time to say a few words.
As in the past, over the past few days, a lot of incorrect information about me and our team has been circulating. Fake news that doesn’t deserve attention but now requires a response to protect my image and that of our group.
These allegations about on-field dynamics, various confrontations, and my private life are not true; they only create confusion and division. I ask for respect for myself, our work, and the club we represent.
Constructive criticism is part of our job, but lies are not. I urge everyone to verify facts before spreading news that can harm individuals or our environment."
Davide Calabria added:
"Our focus remains on the field, where we work every day with maximum professionalism to improve ourselves.
I will not allow anyone to undermine my love and commitment to my beloved team.
Thank you to those who always support us.
Forza Milan!"
