Ngog would never take dive - Agent
The young Frenchman has found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons for his apparent dive in Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Monday night.[LNB]Ngog was branded a cheat by Blues midfielder Lee Carsley for going down in the box without any contact from his challenge.[LNB]The 21-year-old has come under fire from a number of figures in the game, but Ngog's agent, Bruno Satin says the player is no cheat.[LNB]"He wouldn't try and con the ref," Satin told The Sun.[LNB]"He's a lad with very good education, correct and polite. He doesn't look for these things. He's never had a problem of this type before in his career. [LNB]"Maybe he fell down because he was worried about being injured. At times, players make very hard challenges in England. They allow a lot of things to defenders in the Premier League. At times it's really on the limit.[LNB]"Sometimes there are challenges that can assassinate you. A defender could get five matches for throwing his shirt and the player who broke the leg of Eduardo only had a three-game suspension.[LNB]"Did the defender put the safety of the player in danger? You have to look at things in a more reasonable proportion."[LNB]Meanwhile, Birmingham defender Scott Dann has called on the FA to punish any divers.[LNB]Dann believes players who con referees need to be suspended and he admits Ngog's actions were hard to take.[LNB]"The only way you can stop it is to suspend cheats and it's up to the FA to sort it out," said Dann.[LNB]"We all know diving goes on but no one likes to see it. I'd never dive to win a penalty.[LNB]"David Ngog is not the only one who has ever done it. A lot of it goes on and it is disappointing. It is a tough one for us to get our heads around.[LNB]"People say they are not sure what can be done to stop it, but rules can be changed to clean up football - and people have to be punished heavily.[LNB]"Everyone who saw it knew it was a dive. I am just sick because I had family and friends there and wanted to put one over on Liverpool.[LNB]"But we can take some consolation in the fact that Ngog had to dive to stop us beating them."[LNB][LNB]
