Eldense Coach Says Barcelona B Didn't Respect 'Code of Honour' in 12-0 Victory

Eldense have denied "allegations of match-fixing" after they were defeated 12-0 by Barcelona B.

According to Cadena Cope (h/t Adriana Garcia of ESPN FC), coach Filippo Vito di Pierro and general director Nobile Capuani said the Catalan team simply refused to stop scoring in the rout.

The two men were arrested but "have denied wrongdoing," instead blaming Barca B for their prolific performance.

When asked on Cadena Cope about the game, Di Pierro said he had no knowledge of any match-fixing but pointed the finger at Barca B for being unsporting.

He said:

"

After the embarrassment of Saturday's result, I believe our 20 players are clean.

The Barcelona players did not respect the code of honour between teams. In fact, our players on the bench requested Barcelona to stop [scoring] and they [Barcelona players] would say: 'I'm sorry, we can't.'

This is just a bad dream.

I don't know what they are talking about -- it's not part of who I am. I'm available to help the authorities in any way I can.

"

Capuani also proclaimed his innocence to Cadena Cope, saying: "I am innocent because I have done nothing wrong to put football in a negative situation."

Both men were released on Wednesday but face charges of "corruption between individuals" and "belonging to an organised crime group."
