We've just received a message from Daverson Franzoi. We publish it to give him the chance to defend himself against the charge of dishonest behaviour after the Italian Cup final.

"I confirm that I didn't throw the ball in the pitch, absolutely. I hope that they will throw light on what really happened.
I care more about people's regard for me as man than as a player. I'm disappointed by the fact that someone could have doubt about my honourableness as a sportsman. Daverson Franzoi"
