The Rossoneri coach: “The expulsion of Gimenez? In the Var room there was the same referee of the Italian Cup final, when he was committed identical foul on the cage. And the foul on Koné on the second goal of Rome was not there”
Now there is really nothing more to cling to. The attempt – late, too late – of Milan to turn up the European train stops at the Olimpico in Rome. For the second time in four days. Last Wednesday Bologna had taken away the Europa League, this time Rome stole the conference from the Rossoneri. The devil finds himself again in the shame of ninth place and confirms the allergy to the first -rate teams – brought home the misery of 10 points in the 14 crossings against those who precede it -, but now the numbers say little. What they had to say, they told him abundantly along a bankruptcy season, where nothing worked: clubs, coaches, players. The last home game, against Monza relegated, will sadly close a dispute that has already started a long time ago.
Sergio Conceiçao, however, will not even be on the bench: Piccinini has expelled him in the final and during the week the sports judge will bother him in the stands for the last seasonal act of the team and the coach himself, whose end had been definitively certified by the lunch in the Italian Cup. “The environment was not easy after losing a final in which there were episodes that repeated all year – explains Conceiçao with evident reference to some refereeing decisions -. The details in the end never run for us, are always negative. Either for our mistakes, or for error of others”. Then he specifically enters the expulsion of Gimenez. “The Var was the same as the Italian Cup final (Mazzoleni, Avar Wednesday and Var this time, editor’s note). I don’t say that Gimenez was not as red, but on Wednesday on the cage it was the same thing. And we are talking about a title, a qualification for a European cup. Playing in Rome is already difficult, after an expulsion is worse. We tried to give the best, and I had nothing to say. We scored goals on the inactive ball and you cannot take such nets “. And then, on the future: “Everyone has to make an evaluation on their work, I am very demanding with myself, I will evaluate everything that has been done. But I would like to say that before this game Milan under my management was from the Champions League area. We were also done positive things, we won a title and played a final where, of course, we could have done more. It is a season that is not good for a club like Milan, we will have to evaluate. Taking our responsibilities. I can’t be on the bench against Monza?
