After the defeat of Parma, the grenade technician disputes Collu’s referee for the 1-0 penalty: “It is impossible that players can skip like penguins with their hands behind the back”
Even a person who is always calm and reflective like him cannot digest such a penalty. Because, then, it is useless to turn too much around: the games revolve around the episodes, and when the arbitration decisions take on the physiognomy of a reservoir, as in the case of the rigor assigned to Parma and then transformed by Pellegrino, the ninety minutes are transformed into almost impossible climbs. Marco Baroni does not raise the tones, and does not even do this this time. But the thought is very clear. He has a huge experienced first by a winning footballer behind and then a long experience as a coach. Above all, from the experience he draws to tell the key moment in which he turns the whole evening of Tardini. “In football there are dynamics in the movements: it is impossible that players can skip like penguins with their hands behind the back -says the Toro coach, speaking of the episode that involves Ismajli and that leads to the penalty of 1-0 -. When an arm is not stretched towards the ball, but is instead lying along the body, as we have already seen in many other cases in our championship, it cannot be foul”. Baroni goes further and makes himself available to the referee class. “I am convinced that, slowly, working together with the others, we will correct these situations in compliance with football and the show to go in the right direction. I am ready to bring my contribution of experience, because on this rule there will be a need for a slight change”. During the game Baroni was warned … “Because the referee told me that I exulted after our goal. I will try to moderate me next time”.

Beyond the result, especially in the first half, the grenades offered one of the best performance on the level of the field holding and offensive pressing. “The team played an important game, gave answers, starting with aggression – reflects the Turin coach -. We sought the reconquest of the ball and we created many occasions. Apart from the penalty, Parma makes two shots …”. The result is negative, and does not go down to the technician: “This defeat burns – continues Baroni -, we are pissed off, but there is also the awareness that this is the right path. We have to do more, always playing with this penalty, with this energy, because the performance has been convincing. Obviously, we are heavily penalized by the result, in the next games we must still add a piece of attention”. And he adds: “The team must not take a step back: the road on which to continue is this, and obviously it is sure that you have to do better. I told the players that we must believe, continue and insist on this type of performance”. Maripan closes: “The situation is not good, but we remain positive, we must trust the team. From now on we think left after game”.
