Diao provocative post sparks fresh Como vs. Roma tension

The tension between Como and Roma escalated again after Assane Diao made a provocative Instagram post about the controversial Wesley red card.

The Lariani came back from a goal down to win 2-1 at the Stadio Sinigaglia last night, thanks also to the fact that their opponents were reduced to 10 men.

That incident saw Wesley receive a second yellow card, although his contact with Diao seemed minimal at best, with Devyne Rensch more likely to have contributed to the Como man going over.

Diao incident fuels tension

Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini was furious and suggested in his post-match interviews that Como were “regulars” at this sort of behaviour, refusing to shake the hand of Cesc Fabregas.

So when Diao posted on Instagram several photos of the match, including the Wesley challenge, with the caption “That’s how we do it,” the response was swift.

They ranged from Roma fans noting it was “hardly normal for you to post this after stealing a match” to others assuring they will “remember this and be waiting when you come to the Stadio Olimpico.”

Many simply replied with gifs of dives into swimming pools and off cliffs.

There are always some who go too far, and they expressed hope that the player will suffer a relapse of his serious knee ligament injury.
