The alleged kiss continues to cause a sensation Vincenzo Italiano to Vanessa Leonardi at the end of the match between Fiorentina and Viktoria. In the images that have been making the rounds on the web, the coach of the Viola team can be seen getting (very close) to the Sky sideline and appearing to give her a kiss. All this would have happened at the end of the match which earned the Viola passage to the Conference League semi-finals.
The Italian-Leonardi kiss: Fiorentina’s denial
Fiorentina also intervenes in the matter of the alleged kiss. There is no official statement on the matter from the Tuscan club but the LaPresse agency, which reveals Fiorentina’s position, reports the position of President Commisso’s club: “No kiss, the journalist had her head under the hood and it was just a busy conversation”, these are the words reported on an affair that has created such a stir in the last few hours.
Maurizio Compagnoni’s answer
It also arrives on social media answer by Maurizio Compagnoni. The Sky journalist responded to those who asked him about his wife on his Facebook page: “But she didn’t kiss her”, the journalist replied to a direct question. And to those who insist on kissing her: “But do you think Italiano does it in front of a thousand cameras and with his wife in the stands?”.
Italian in the crosshairs of social media
The images that have been circulating on social media since last night suggest that between Vincenzo Italiano and Vanessa Leonardi there was a kiss and a rather passionate one at that. On Twitter, photos and videos of the moment of the “alleged scandal” are multiplying with fans letting their irony vent: “You have surely already said that Italiano and Leonardi are not lovers but just a bit Compagnoni”, Cristiano jokes, also bringing up Leonardi’s husband, Sky commentator and journalist. There are those who want to know the implications of this story: “Need an update onItalian-Leonardi-Compagnoni affair” and obviously the memes abound.
Fiorentina-Bruges changes the date of the semi-final
But kiss, real or presumed aside, the main news remains the victory of Fiorentina who gained access to the Conference League semi-final and after last year’s final he is once again attacking a prestigious European title. And there is also some news in view of the double clash with Bruges. The return semi-final changes date with the Belgian team hosting the Viola Wednesday 8 May at 6.45pm instead of Thursday 9 May at 9pm as scheduled. The decision was made because the Procession of the Holy Blood is scheduled for the 9th, a particularly important event for the city and for this reason the approval was received from UEFA.
