Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago has responded to the comments of the lawyer of Juventus coach Max Allegri over Wednesday night's clash.

Allegri, after Vaciago's initial report, has denied many of the journalist's claims via his legal team.

But Vaciago has since reported in his Tuttosport column: “The lawyer Paolo Rodella, in his statement to ANSA, accuses me of having given a 'false' reconstruction of the events that occurred between me and his client Massimiliano Allegri in the Stadio Olimpico tunnel on Wednesday evening.

“All this is perhaps more serious than the event, which as far as I am concerned, was already in the past, but I am now forced to return to it.

“I encourage all parties to be more precise in the reporting of that incident, particularly because it took place in sight of several witnesses, including the manager responsible for the broadcasting of Lega Serie A, Manuele Tigani, who did his utmost to stop Allegri, Gabriella Ravizzotti of the Juventus press office, at least two Olimpico stewards, a representative of the police, and three journalists."

“I reiterate that it was not an altercation, but a monologue by Massimiliano Allegri, who shouted at me while I was making a phone call about 20 metres away.

“He then came at me with the phrase: 'put the phone down, sh**y editor.' He continued with all the phrases reported in my reconstruction of events, including the threat to 'get me' and to 'rip my ears off.'

“He took my right wrist, forcefully, jerking it several times while he spoke louder and louder, as witnesses will all confirm.

“I simply told him in a very normal tone of voice: 'calm down, Max," and twice told him: 'be careful, what you're saying is serious.'

“I repeat that this morning, the matter was already in the past, and I hoped never to have to go back to what happened again."
