Balleri hits out at match-fixing allegations

David Balleri, one of five players referred to the Italian football federation’s disciplinary commission on suspicion of match-fixing, says he feels “angered” by the accusations made against him.

The FIGC on Friday confirmed that the quintet – Livorno’s Balleri, brothers Emanuele and Antonio Filippini, and Alessandro Grandoni, and Atalanta captain Gian Paolo Bellini – and both clubs would face investigation.
