“I always want to stay on the pitch and help my teammates because I came all the way to Florence for this city and this club, and I think Fiorentina should get more attention, the same attention given to the other clubs, for the great work we’re doing every day.
Lega Serie A confirmed the Frenchman was shown a red card for his actions, so he could be banned for several games as a result.
