FC Goa manager Zico has claimed that midfielder Robert Pirès was punched in the face by Atlético de Kolkata Head Coach Antonio López.

The former Brazil international suggests Pirès made him aware of the incident after his side’s 2-0 loss to Atlético and is confident that the veteran would not fabricate such a serious allegation.

“The other thing that happened which is more serious is that one of our players said that he was beaten by the coach of the other team,” stated the tactician, as reported by GOAL.

“Pirès said he was punched on the face by the Atlético Coach and it is very shameful.

“I am telling you what my players told me and I didn’t see that myself but I don’t think that Pirès will lie and say something that didn’t happen.”
