Controversy continues to rage between Fiorentina and Roma after La Viola Sporting Director Pantaleo Corvino labelled giallorossi striker Edin Dzeko a “diver” following Sunday’s clash in Tuscany. Today, his counterpart in the capital Walter Sabatini has come out and publicly stated that; “Dzeko is a player who always demonstrates his integrity on the field as we have seen in the past. It’s unacceptable the persons in high positions such as Corvino should make comments such as this”.
 

Through the news agency ANSA, Corvino responded to Sabatini’s claims of “verbal incontinence”  and on his remarks in defence of the Bosnian frontman he stated that; “To defend his player is the correct thing to do, just like last weekend when (President) Ferrero complained about the penalty awarded against Sampdoria. I simply said that Dzeko should have been punished for simulation”.
