Talking to Sky Italia, Cobolli confirmed the bizarre
rumour about his capture. "The story of me being locked in the
toilet by Tiago is true," claimed the Juve President.
"In any case, Alessandro Del Piero responded to the noise I made
banging on the door and offered to break it down."
Originally the reports were that Cobolli had been rescued by
club captain Del Piero after he had accidentally been locked within
the washroom. However, now it's been revealed that was not the
case.
Apparently, Tiago is desperate to play in the Champions League
and was upset at the Bianconeri president for attempting to push
him toward Everton and Monaco who are not involved in Europe's
premier competition. Thus, Tiago locked Cobolli in the washroom as
a sort of revenge. Rumours suggest that he was locked inside for
over an hour before Del Piero heard the patron.
"(Juventus coach) Claudio Ranieri still considers Tiago a part
of the squad, but anything could happen tomorrow in Italian
football," Cobolli continued to explain. "Hopefully, by midnight
Tiago will have found another club."
Tiago certainly has not the best of time since joining Juventus
from Lyon for €13 million at the beginning of last season, only
making 20 appearances for the Bianconeri. In fact, you may recall
Goal.com listed Tiago as the third biggest flop of the 2007/08
season.
