Di Michele is no diver - Zola
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola claims David di Michele was unfortunate to be booked for diving in the 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool.
It could have been a different story if Italian forward Di Michele had kept his composure when racing through on goal just before the break.
He lost his footing as Jose Reina approached - and to rub salt in the wound he got booked for simulation.
"I don't think he looked for it," said Zola. "The referee booked him, but he just lost his legs and lost his balance.
"I don't think it was a simulation. What can I say, Di Michele doesn't get many goals, but he is a key player for us."
