‘Ligue 1 disrespected Astori’

Fiorentina goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu claims Ligue 1 showed “a complete lack of respect” to ex-Fiorentina teammate Davide Astori.

Tatarusanu was Astori’s teammate at Fiorentina between 2015 and 2017, and the now-Nantes No 1 spoke of a ‘scandal’ after Ligue 1 failed to dedicate a minute’s silence to the defender in any of its matches on Sunday.

“It was the worst day of my life,” he was quoted as saying by OF.

“It was the worst day of my life,” he was quoted as saying by OF.

“There was no minute’s silence for the death of my former teammate and friend Davide Astori.

“It’s a scandal and a complete lack of respect. After such drama like this, football takes a back seat. We’ll play many more games.”
