Cruciani openly expressed his dissatisfaction with Adani on the Numerone podcast, refuting Adani's remarks about journalists defending "the indefensible." Adani frequently criticizes Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri and the journalists who defend him. Cruciani believes that such accusations lack a clear target and do not specify what "the indefensible" actually refers to.
"On the 'Domenica Sportiva' program, someone said that some people – what was his wording? – he said, 'journalist friends.' Those journalist friends who defend 'the indefensible.' Do you know how serious this is? It's as if someone has to defend something for their own self-interest, without even knowing why. But what exactly does 'indefensible' mean? It's as if that thing is the bane of Italian football. This kind of thing is outrageous."
Cruciani then further responded: "In other words, he doesn't mention Massimiliano Allegri by name, nor does he name those he attacks and accuses, and I am among them. Yet he slanders others on Italian public television, saying that there's a group of people defending 'the indefensible,' as if we are defending the evils of Italian football. Screw you! Come on! I'm clearly saying 'screw you.'"
"Why should someone be associated with those who defend 'the indefensible'? Who are they? And this time, we also criticized Massimiliano Allegri because he said something stupid about Dybala, Roma, and the Champions League. As for the so-called 'indefensible,' what exactly is it? An outdated playing style, which he has clearly changed? What is it? I really want to know what 'the indefensible' is. They need to explain to me clearly what 'the indefensible' means."
