Cesc Fàbregas isn’t having any of it and, commenting on the Como v Roma match, has criticised Gian Piero Gasperini, whom the Como manager accuses of leaving the pitch at the end of the match without saying goodbye: “I found it unsportsmanlike,” the Spaniard told Sky, “whether I’m angry, sent off, or think the referee has wronged me, at the end of the match I always go over to shake the other manager’s hand.”
“It’s a matter of respect and sportsmanship; I’m sorry about what happened,” added Fabregas. “It saddens me when a colleague of mine leaves without saying goodbye. I went to say hello to him as I always do and saw him walk away. You battle it out during the match, but then you shake hands. I too have recently done things I’m not proud of, but I think we need to set an example. Let’s remember that the lads look up to us.”
