| Agent denies Montolivo malaise |

Riccardo Montolivo's agent maintains that the Azzurri midfielder is totally committed to the Fiorentina cause, despite a rift with the fans.
Gigliati fans have jeered the talented playmaker on several occasions this term as he has struggled to produce his best.
And after hitting a match-winning brace against Udinese at the Stadio Artemio Franchi 10 days ago, Montolivo made a silence gesture to the fans.
“It was a normal reaction after scoring twice to turn a difficult game around and I don't think we should dwell on the incident any longer,” agent Giovanni Branchini told La Nazione.
“There is a hint of masochism in Florence and people always tend to stress the negative. Nobody talks about the applause Riccardo directed at the Curva when he was substituted.
“He gives his all on the pitch and has even adapted to playing in a different role, which suits the team better.
“Montolivo has embraced Cesare Prandelli's project and is happy to stay in Florence because he loves it here.”
