May 27th Italian media "Republic" said that it was Zagnolo who went to the locker room of the Rome youth team to provoke and beat the young players, and the head coach of the Fiorentine youth team also admitted that there was a conflict.

In the semi-finals of the Italian Youth League this season, Roma youth team lost 1-2 away to Fiorentina youth team. After the game, Roma officially issued a statement condemning Fiorentine first-team player Zagnolo for beating two young players of the Roma youth team after the game. The Florence Club immediately issued a statement, and Zagnolo said that he was just going to greet the young player of Rome but was insulted and left before the situation escalated.

In response to this, "Zaniolo is a spectator at Viola Park Stadium. There are some 18-year-old players on the court playing, but they have never played with Zaniolo. The Fiorentina youth team finally won 2-1, but there are different versions of what happened afterwards. Zaniolo went to the locker room, and this detail is the only one that both sides agree with."

The Republic continued: "The people present said that Zaniolo was acting too much at the time and he entered the Rome youth team. In the locker room, he first punched Almaviva, and then hit Liti. He mocked the Roma youth team for losing and provoked them in an indecent way, indulging in this bullying and beating the other party. "

The Sportitalia reporter who broadcast the game also said: "At that time, shouting and punching could be heard outside the player's passage."

In addition, the statement of Fiorentina youth team coach Gallopa was different from the statement of the Fiorentina club, and he also confirmed that there was indeed a conflict at that time. "I kept my players out there and I wanted to avoid trouble. I saw a fight. I didn't want my players to take any risks. A sad scene."
