Livorno coach Gennaro Ruotolo says the players are embarrassing themselves.

The Amaranto are practically doomed to relegation and required extra protection from angry fans when leaving the stadium and during training this week.

"Enough is enough. I don't want us to keep embarrassing ourselves and I demand a reaction from this team," slammed the Coach.

"Or do we want to keep needing a police escort after every game? The situation may be compromised, but I am not someone who gives in and I don't want my players to either.

"We have got to get back to being 11 lions and we'll try to win right to the end."
