Keita refuses to shake hand with Spalletti

Keita refuses to shake hand with Spalletti

Inter star Keita Balde refused to shake hand with his manager Luciano Spalletti at the end of Inter’s 2-1 win over Fiorentina on Tuesday night.

The Senegal winger had just been reproached by his manager and Spalletti explained what happened after the final whistle.

“I told him something that you can say at the end of the game”, Spalletti told Sky.

“I said the same thing to Politano and Keita. In that moment the lads couldn’t keep the ball in our final third, Fiorentina were pressing high and I needed Politano and Keita to sit deep in the middle of the pitch to obstruct Fiorentina.”
 
"These things happen in football", insisted Spalletti.

"Let's focus on the pitch and not on what happens out of it. Stuff like that can happen inside the dressing room. We like to have confrontations sometimes." 

After their 2-1 win over Fiorentina, Inter sit fifth in the Serie A table with ten points in six games.
