Zeman launches Totti attack
Thursday 3 February, 2005
Lecce boss Zdenek Zeman has hit out at his former Roma pupil Francesco Totti, following last night’s 1-1 draw.
The tactician was furious after he claimed the Italian international was responsible for the dismissal of Cristian Ledesma.
The Argentine youngster was sent off for pushing Totti in the face, a gesture that Zeman insists was provoked by the Giallorossi captain.
"I’ve spoken to the lad about the incident," the Czech said. "He shouldn’t have done what he did but there was a motive behind it.
"He was repeatedly insulted during the game and reacted with his hands after hearing one too many swear words.
"This happens a lot against us, it occurred in the tie against Messina too. We are a young side and we often fall into the trap."
The tactician and Totti had previously shared a splendid relationship after Zeman’s two-year stint in Rome between 1997 and 1999.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, Lecce, without the Fiorentina bound Valeri Bojinov, equalised with a late goal from Mirko Vucinic.
