JAKARTA - Felipe Melo has again attacked Giorgio Chiellini after an autobiographical controversy. According to the Brazilian midfielder, Chiellini only had a problem with him because the Juventus captain had been gored by Melo.

Chiellini apologized to Mario Balotelli for the criticism in his book. However, arguments with former Juventus midfielder and Inter Milan midfielder Melo continued.

"He only had a problem with me because I gore him when we played against Siena," Melo told Sebastien Frey in an Instagram Live chat.

"I haven't spoken to him since then and he wrote this book. I said what I need to say. A thousand things happened at Juve and I can write a thousand books about him, much more important than this.

Chiellini - said Melo - never apologized to him. But Melo doesn't care as long as Chiellini is in charge of what he says.

"He just sparked this controversy to sell his book. He should have followed the example set by Javier Zanetti, vice president of Inter, who never even talked about Juve in his book. Besides, this is really not the time to publish books, when people are dying. . "

Felipe Melo also discussed his move to Inter from Galatasaray in 2015, where he stayed until January 2017.

“Inter has been my dream since I was a kid. I made history in Galatasaray and it was really too comfortable for me to stay there, because I was an idol for the fans. I just signed a new three-year contract, but went to Inter and took a 50 percent pay cut, a decision made with heart.

“Jose Mourinho and the others tried to take me to Inter when I was at Fiorentina, but unfortunately I went to Juve. I never spoke ill of Juve, but walking out at the San Siro in the Milan derby wearing the Inter jersey was a major sensation for me. We won 1-0. "
