Lichtsteiner hit me in my 'private parts'

Malmo defender Pa Konate has accused Juventus full-back Stephan Lichtsteiner of deliberately striking him in his "private parts" during Tuesday night's Champions League clash between their respective sides. The Bianconeri triumphed 2-0 in the Group A game in Turin, with Argentine forward Carlos Tevez scoring both goals for the Italian champions. Lichtsteiner was one of Juve's star performers and exited to a standing ovation in the dying seconds but Konate claims that the Switzerland international should have been sent off for punching him in the groin. "The images speak for themselves," the 20-year-old told reporters. "I was on the ground helpless and he hit me with force between the legs, in my private parts. "It was crazy. I tried to ask him what he was doing, but he only looked at me without saying a word. "I did not react as that is not my style, but maybe I should have. "At the end of the match I swapped shirts with [Juventus forward Sebastian] Giovinco; he's a good guy." Konate, who was booked in the 11th minute for a foul on Lichtsteiner, will run into the Swiss again when Malmo host Juventus on November 26 on the penultimate matchday.
