Italy legend Marco Tardelli has criticised Giorgio Chiellini for his comments to former teammates Mario Balotelli and Felipe Melo in his autobiography.
It's been reported that Chiellini New book 'lo Giorgio' has been released on Tuesday May 12.
While promoting his life story in an interview with La Repubblica, the 35-year-old described Italy forward Balotelli as a 'negative person' who had 'no respect for the group'.
Chiellini says the unhelpful Balotelli deserved 'a slap' during the tournament.
Chiellini has also labelled former Juve colleague Melo 'the worst of the worst,' revealing he would tell managers that the Brazilian was 'a rotten apple'.
'I am truly disappointed to read the comments of Giorgio Chiellini, captain of the Italy squad, of Juventus and key man in the Players' Association directive,' Tardelli tweeted.
'Tough words towards his teammates – colleagues who ought to consider him a reference point. Declaring hatred towards another club only creates hatred.
'Respect for the opponent in even the toughest battles, that's what I learned from captains like Dino Zoff and Gaetano Scirea.'
