German Denis’ agent has called Empoli defender Lorenzo Tonelli ‘shameful’ as their feud rumbles on.
The Atalanta striker has been given a five game ban after punching Tonelli following the 2-2 draw between the two sides.
The latter has been banned for one match for threatening to kill Denis’ family, something which he denies.
“In his career, German has always been a proper footballer, a role model,” Leo Rodriguez told Tuttomercatoweb.
“I think there’s a limit to everything, German has done wrong, but Tonelli’s behaviour was shameful, he threatened to kill him and his family, and that’s something which just isn’t done.
“It's wrong to say that anything can happen on the pitch.
“Empoli revealed the incident, so everyone thinks that German punched Tonelli. But no-one is aware of what got the human side of German.
“I’d rather not comment on the suspension.”
