The agent of Fiorentinaโs Alessandro Bianco has spoken out, after his client was punched by a Sivasspor fan during La Violaโs UEFA Conference League win over the Turkish side.
Fiorentina progressed into the quarter-finals of the Conference League after their 4-1 win yesterday but during celebrations of one of the goals, a Sivasspor fan ended up punching Bianco. The midfielder later posted a photo on Instagram and it had him showing off a potentially broken nose and saying: โNot badโ
Biancoโs agent Giuseppe Galli recently spoke to Radio FirenzeViola recently and he gave his thoughts about what happened and how the playerโs lawyers will react to what happened.
โThese things happening in 2023 is shameful. Unfortunately this time, Alessandro paid for the consequences. Letโs hope that the injury is not more serious than expected. Knowing the boy he is serene, but he took a punch.โ
Galli spoke about how the situation is going to be dealt with from a legal standpoint, he stated: โI know that UEFA already have everything under control, then weโll put the lawyers in the middle. Iโll be in Florence tonight, Iโll meet with the boy and weโll decide what to do.โ
Galli also stated that incidents like these donโt put the competition in a positive light, saying: โThey are competitions that everyone thinks are minor, but winning a European trophy is always important. I think Fiorentina have what it takes to go all the way, then football is made up of episodes.โ
