Torino President Urbano Cairo responded to the accusations from Lazio striker Ciro Immobile on Tuesday night. ‘I also know who Ciro Immobile is’.

The conflict between Lazio and Torino continued in the postponed game and 0-0 was enough to save the Granata, but the tension continued after the final whistle.

Immobile claimed in a post on Instagram that ‘President Urbano Cairo walked up to me at the entrance of the Lazio dressing room and started insulting me’.

The Partenopei striker said Cairo was ‘verbally attacking me and accusing me of playing with bloodshot eyes and other things regarding the first game this season against Torino’.

The Granata chief replied to the accusations, but didn't really deny or confirm what happened, but rather explained why he is angry at the Italy international.

“Ciro Immobile attacked me from his Instagram profile after the match against Lazio,” Cairo wrote.

“I replied to his post and publish the text here too.

“Ciro Immobile accuses me of having confronted him at the end of the game and claims that everyone knows who Ciro Immobile is.

“Well… I also know who Ciro Immobile is. A footballer who came to Turin after a disappointing championship with Genoa to relaunch.

“[Gian Piero] Ventura trusted him, and he did well at Toro. I thought he would gladly stay at least another year and he, Ciro Immobile, on the other hand, created problems to go to Borussia Dortmund.

“He had another disappointing season and Borussia loaned him to Sevilla. Even there, Ciro Immobile didn’t to well and then he phoned me and asked me to please let him return to Toro.

“I, who was fond of him, satisfied him. He didn’t have a brilliant second stint, but I, who cared a lot about him, wanted to sign him anyway.

“But he, Ciro Immobile, didn’t call me personally this time. He had his agent tell me that for personal reasons, he couldn’t stay in Turin. So, I didn’t sign him, because I understood who Ciro Immobile is…”
