the truth? Archerby missed the European Cup for suspected discrimination, and Spaletti also questioned his age

According to Slow Motion Network, Archerby had previously missed the European Cup for suspected racial discrimination. Spalletti also publicly questioned that he was older. All signs indicate that Archerby refused to call the Italian national team.

Achelby rejected the Italian national team's call for this World Cup qualifier, which has sparked heated discussions on the media. Coach Spaletti said that the players voluntarily refused for personal reasons, and Archerby also responded to Spaletti on social media, demanding respect and clarified once again that he refused the national team because he lost in the Champions League final.

Archerby last played for Italy in November 2023, when Italy drew 0-0 with Ukraine in the European Cup qualifiers and successfully advanced to the 2024 European Cup. However, Archelbi did not participate in the European Cup because he was investigated in March 2024 for suspected racial discrimination against Napoli defender Juan Jr.

Archerbi communicated with head coach Spalletti, but according to the internal policy of the Italian national team, Spalletti decided to exclude Archerbi from the national team list, who missed the opportunity to participate in the European Cup.

What's worse, Archerby's alleged racial discrimination case was later left unresolved because the sports judge found no evidence of his racial discrimination and acquitted Archerby, but he missed his last European Cup. After the European Cup, considering that Archerby was a veteran born in 1988, Spaletti never called him again, and it is also widely believed that Archerby's national team career is over.

In March this year, Italy drew 3-3 with Germany, and a reporter asked Spaletti if he should give him a new opportunity considering Archerby's outstanding performance at Inter. Spaletti answered very clearly at the time: "Do you know how old Archerbi? I think Bastoni, Calafiori, Buongiorno and Di Lorenzo are equally important. Although Archerbi is indeed great and performs well, I believe in my team. Thank you for your advice..."

However, the arrangement of fate has made the Norwegian team led by Haaland divided into the same group as Italy in the World Cup. Recalling Archerbi's wonderful performance in the 2023 Champions League final and this year's Champions League stage, Spaletti decided to call him into the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Today, Spaletti said when talking about the matter: "Obviously, I talked with Archelby before and later communicated through text and phone calls." He stressed that the recruitment was not an interim decision and Archelby was also aware of it. However, Archelby eventually rejected the call.
