The Brazilian spoke out on Wednesday the day after the FIGC shelved their investigation into the incident citing insufficient evidence.
“Although respecting this decision I have difficulty understanding it and it leaves me feeling very bitter,” he declared in a statement published by his club.
Initially Jesus played down the matter following Napoli’s 1-1 draw at Inter Milan on March 17 after accepting Acerbi’s on-field apology for unspecified insults. He now says his conciliatory approach had not had the desired effect.
