Count on De Rossi: "Episode in the race"

ROME, Feb. 25 - "There was no dispute at the end of the race, we presented the statement of defense and we can still appeal if he made a decision of UEFA." The lawyer of Rome, Antonio Conte, reconstructs it the case that the protagonist Daniele De Rossi, who according to the complaint by Shakhtar Donetsk UEFA, would hit the defender Dmytro Chygrynskiy during the first leg of the Champions League first knockout round, held last February 16 at the Stadio Olimpico.

THE VIEW - According to the lawyer it would not be a fight after the game, but a disagreement took place during the race and escaped to the referee, because there is no sign on the scoresheet. "We presented the statement of defense, in which there are also the statements of De Rossi - explains the legal giallorosso -.

We await the decision of the UEFA disciplinary between now and Monday, however, we appeal that decision. I want to clarify that this is not an episode at the end of the game, but occurred in the area during a corner kick and the referee and assistants have not seen. " The player is still likely to be disqualified, and then skip the second leg, in which the Roma should replace the now 3-2 at home: If you stop, the team would have to play the return to Ukraine on 8 March without midfielder, and also no drawers and Menez, disqualified after the yellow card at the Olimpico.
