Giuseppe Bergomi, who played 81 matches for the Italian national team during his time, spoke about Alessandro Bastoni's safety in Italy.

The "Inter" defender made a crucial mistake in the decisive World Cup qualifying match, where he received a red card playing against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Later, the Italians lost and missed the World Cup for the third time in a row.

Mr. Bergomi said on "Radio Nerazzurra": "Now Alessandro will have to leave Italy, and this will be just for his own safety."

We will lose an incredible talent, one of the best defenders in modern football. I am very sorry, but I think this will be best for the player's safety."
