Traveling to Florian Thauvin’s Udinese this Saturday afternoon, Salernitana conceded a draw (1-1). But the result of the match will remain anecdotal, since a scene in the second period will have surprised more than one. Fabio Liverani, the Salerno coach, decided to bring in Boulaye Dia (27) at the end of the match, to try to snatch the victory. But the Senegalese international simply refused to come into play on the Udine pitch.
A choice which particularly irritated his trainer, who heavily criticized him at a press conference. “He made a choice, which we will take into consideration from today onwards. It’s a definitive choice. The problem is not for me, but for his teammates. Remove him from the group? I don’t think that’s the right word, but I understand that he’s someone I can’t count on.”explained Fabio Liverani after the meeting.
