Defender of the Italian team Giorgio Chiellini commented on the information about the strained relations of the players and the ex-head coach.
Italian team for the first time since 1958 did not get to the World Cup after the defeat in the play-offs from the Swedes.
Earlier in the media there was information that after the first match with Sweden, Ventura quarreled with the players and threatened to resign.
"I read a lot of these stories, but I will say only one thing - all this is fantasy and fairy tales. I always talked with the coach and we had a good dialogue. But I never allow myself to tell the coach how we should play. And this applies not only to me, but to all teammates, "says Chiellini Corriere della sera.
Note that after the match against Sweden, Chiellini announced his departure from the national team.
