Strike duo deny rift rumours

Mutu: Happy days

Adrian Mutu and Christian Vieri have rubbished speculation they have fallen out at Fiorentina.

The pair endured several angry exchanges with one another during Fiorentina's 1-0 victory over Catania on Sunday.

Mutu - who scored Fiorentina's winning goal - and Vieri grew increasingly frustrated after a number of stray passes, but the striking duo insist there is no permanent rift.

"It wasn't a big row, it's just the way that we talk on the field," Vieri told the Italian media.

Good relationship

"It's something we both understand. After we had shouted a bit he (Mutu) put two great passes through that I should have taken advantage of."

Mutu is also adamant that all is well in his partnership with Vieri.

"I have a good relationship with Vieri on the pitch," said Mutu.

"We played very well to take the three points from Catania. I scored and I nearly gave Christian an assist so I am satisfied."
