Dabo blasts ‘fascist’ Di Canio Wednesday 14 December, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ousmane Dabo has launched an incredible public attack against Lazio teammate Paolo Di Canio. "I’ve had it with these fascists," he fumed.
It seems that Paolo Di Canio’s controversial gesture to Lazio supporters on Sunday has not only antagonised Livorno fans. The latest development in the affair has brought a withering condemnation from within the club.
While the Biancocelesti President Claudio Lotito and Coach Delio Rossi have moved to defend the 37-year-old, Dabo has decided to break rank and criticise his club captain.
"I will not talk to him any more," he said in an interview with France Soir. "I must say that I’ve broken my b**** playing with the likes of him. I’ve had it with these fascists even if they are only a minority of the supporters."
Lazio are notorious for having one of the most extreme right-wing factions within their fan-base. They are known to sing fascist songs, as well as displaying banners depicting racist slogans and extremist fascist icons such as Serbian warlord Arkan.
Di Canio, who is a born-and-bred die-hard Lazio fan, even sports a tattoo of the late Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
