The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan head coach has shed light on the reported feud with the Uruguayan striker, stating that it was a difference of opinion and nothing more than that.
Reports suggested that the former Atletico Madrid striker refused to come on as a substitute for the San Siro outfit after Ranieri sought for his assistance in the match. Subsequently the Italian told the
striker to go back to the dugout.
This series of events led to a lot of speculation concerning the ties between the player and the manager, and Ranieri was quick to dismiss of any ill feelings between the two. Forlan’s refusal came on the
matchday 28 of the Serie A against Atalanta, a game in which the Beneamata failed to secure a much needed victory.
Their cause was not helped by the penalty save from Diego Milito by the Atalanta goalkeeper. The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 manager clarified the situation by remarking:
“Diego Forlan did not refuse to come off the bench. It was a tactical thing we were discussing.”
He briefed the press on the exact situation by explaining that he asked the player whether he would be able to perform to the best of his abilities in the position he was asking to play him in. And referring
to Diego’s comments, he stated:
“He replied with great honesty: ‘No, Coach, if I do have to come on then I prefer to do it playing in another way.’ So I opted not to introduce him, as I needed something else.”
After Forlan’s refusal to play in the specified role, in the position of Joel Obi, Ranieri had to bring on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luc-Castaignos-c22500.
The attacker has not been in great form himself, and has been unable to overturn the misfortunes that currently surround the Giuseppe Meazza outfit. He has only scored a handful of goals for the Beneamata,
but that is also due to the lengthy spell he faced on the sidelines due to his injury.
