Juventus' Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci has replied to a person on the social network Instagram, who hoped that the defending children would die.

The midfielder, who returned to Juventus this summer, took the break from coach Massimiliano Allegri after his son, Matteo, had been ill, reports the Express newspaper.

Fortunately, Matteo Bonucci has returned, but the Italian has reacted sharply to a Instagram user, who had sent a message saying that both of his children should have died.

"Maybe one day we will live in a better world. For now, the world from which I want to save my children is this here, the world in which such people live, "Bonucci said.

"I will keep them from these gestures, of these words and these thoughts. Now, continue: delete the account, change it, call someone for help. It is embarrassing that no one will manage to raise you from the repulsive person you are.
