The Rossoneri coach: “De Ketelaere’s goal should have been cancelled, it changed the face of the match. The way in which La Penna conducted the match against us is evident. And it’s something that isn’t just happening today”

Paulo Fonseca will probably return to Milanello with two thoughts in his head and will have to choose which one to prevail. On the one hand there is, in some way and in some aspects, a (very partial) confirmation that his Milan is improving. At least, it was for a time: in the first round he showed courage, personality and no fear in the face of the best attack of the tournament and a team whose last defeat dates back to the Paleolithic: 24 September. The other thought is less philosophical and more practical: tears continue to flow from the ranking, the others run, escape and the weeks pass. To close at least fourths (or fifths) will require an effort which, right now, seems decidedly intense and doesn’t necessarily pay off. The competition is fierce and above all very broad. At the end of this weekend, depending on what Bologna does, the Devil could find themselves sunk to eighth place. Duretta.

After the match, the Rossoneri coach, who had been warned by La Penna during the match, was very harsh towards the referee: “I have never talked about refereeing, I usually keep quiet, but today I’m speaking. It was a foul on the first goal, There’s no doubt. It’s something that changes the game. It’s not just that. It’s not just the way the referee conducted the match. it is respect for the Milan at the moment. I’m not afraid to tell the truth. I’ve always respected the work of the referees, but every week something happens against us. It’s a lack of respect for us -Udinese and we saw what happened in that match (Friulian protests over an alleged penalty, ed). In fact, I was afraid of this referee for this match…”. Then there is space for a brief analysis of the match: “In the second half we were unable to reach our attackers, unlike the first half. This connection was missing. We lost the game due to two dead balls. In the first half we played a great game, we deserved more, even though we knew it would be difficult.”
