"SSC Napoli firmly condemns the behaviour of AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri, who, during the Italian Super Cup semifinal, in the presence of dozens of people pitchside and on live television, repeatedly and severely insulted Gabriele Oriali with offensive language. "We hope this completely out of control attack does not go unnoticed, especially since, with 33 cameras involved in the event's production, it is impossible not to witness what happened.""
"As MilanNews report, it all stemmed from Rabiot's harsh foul on Politano, an incident that sparked protests from the benches and increased tension. During that, Oriali approached the fourth official and - after laughing in Allegri's face, provoking him - said that the Milan coach was 'going too far'. This attitude further heightened tensions, but was completely ignored in Napoli's statement. After those provocations, Allegri went to tell Oriali what later emerged from the footage regarding the foul, with some strong words used."
Napoli defeated Milan 2-0 in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final, with goals from David Neres and Rasmus Hojlund. Tensions escalated after full-time, with heated words exchanged between technical areas and no handshake between Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte. Napoli formally accused Allegri of repeatedly and severely insulting club staffer Gabriele Oriali pitchside and on live television, noting extensive camera coverage. MilanNews traces the incident to Adrien Rabiot's harsh foul on Matteo Politano, reports that Oriali laughed in Allegri's face and said Allegri was 'going too far', and describes a sequence of provocations culminating in a confrontation and strong words from Allegri.
