Inter defender Lucio blasts Juventus winger Elia over hate tweets

Inter Milan defender Lucio and Juventus winger Eljero Elia have entered a bitter war of words through Twitter and local TV. Lucio clashed with AS Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg during Saturday's 0-0 draw at San Siro, leaving the Dutchman unconscious.

Fellow Dutchman Elia was watching the game on television and tweeted harsh words for the Brazilian.

"i hate lucio #inter he kick #stekelenburg in the face he have to get a red card :@ i am really angry."

Mediaset television told Lucio about the Twitter message and he gave his response.

"It's only normal, because now he's a Juventus player. I would never say something like that. I don't hate anybody," insisted the Inter star.

"I don't think it's right to even talk about it, because not even he can say or know what happened on the field.

"I don't know why he said it, but this isn't important for me. The only important thing is that Stekelenburg is alright.

"As I already said, it was an involuntary situation. What Elia said is stupid."
