The CEO of Roma Guido Fienga and the lawyer of the Capitoline company Antonio Conte entered the CONI headquarters. In fact, this afternoon, the College of Guarantee will discuss whether or not to accept Rome’s appeal on the Diawara case. At the beginning of the season, in fact, the Guinean was mistakenly included in the Under 22 list, a fact that led the Sports Judge to decree the 3-0 at the table for Hellas Verona. The sentence is expected today.

These are the words of CEO Guido Fienga at the end of the meeting:
“We hope that the Court accepts the invitation to reconsider a rule that is objectively too rigid, which does not graduate for penalties and for the distinction between an error or an act done with intent.. We explained that Rome does not hide and admits its faults, but it has not brought any advantage. This strict rule risks giving Verona an advantage, we hope it can be sanctioned in a different way. We hope that the rule can be revised. Verona said what they had to say, I’m interested in the thought of Roma. Difference between the Ragusa case? In our case we still had many free slots, in the previous case it was an incomplete list. Juventus-Naples? I would not like to add anything to the letter, it seems clear enough to me. I do not want to comment on the answer, which is even more ridiculous than the decision, it does not require motivation they say. The only reasons are not comparable. The postponement of Rome-Naples? They do not accept the request of Roma, the practice dictates that for the changes of matches that do not refer to European cups, the agreement between two teams is enough for the league to move the game. Imagine what could happen if this rule were to apply until the end of the season. We are not thinking about anything, we push so that there are no longer partial and subjective behaviors, the League has huge gaps in governance and management”.

“Sanction unfair and disproportionate to the fact and irrelevant for the sporting result”. It is the summary of the position of Rome, in the words of the lawyer Antonio Conte, at the hearing for the appeal before the Sports Guarantee Board, chaired by Marco Frattini, for the 3-0 at the table in Verona. The mistake of including Diawara in the under 22 list was made “in good faith”, according to the Giallorossi club, which is asking for a reasonable penalty. “We highlight a regulatory vacuum that only the College can fill – explains the lawyer Conte -. The factual reconstruction shows how the Roma officials have done everything possible to try to solve the problem”.
The trial then moves on toLeague alerts to find the error and the Giallorossi lawyer specifies: “Nobody tries to declassify the error, but the induction of the error by the Lega delegate is clear. It was then inelegant that nine pages of the Verona defense are dedicated to the mistakes made also with La Spezia as if to identify the employees of Rome as incapable “. According to the Verona lawyer, Stefano Fanini, the case is similar to that of Pescara-Sassuolo in 2017, which led to the 3-0 defeat of the Emilians: “As regards the case, the rule has been in force since 2014 and all the clubs have respected it and this case we are discussing is the same as that of Pescara-Sassuolo in 2017. “Similarity found by the Attorney General of the General Prosecutor of Sports, Livia Rossi. “We cannot ignore the precedents of the College, and in particular the decision on Pescara-Sassuolo – said the lawyer Rossi -. In both cases it was an error that could be remedied. The conclusion of the general prosecutor cannot than being the rejection of the appeal “.
