The addressee of their fierce complaints and protests was none other than referee Marco Serra, who hastily whistled a foul in favor of Rebic in the 92nd minute when the score was 1: 1 and did not wait for the development phase, with the ball to the Messiah’s feet reach and lead to 2-1 in a flash, but without the need of a goalscorer.
“I tried to calm down my players but I didn’t succeed, as the goal we conceded immediately after Spezia showed. We knew there was something wrong, it’s our own fault, but we share responsibility with the referee.
sorry to say He got to the point of apologizing, maybe that wasn’t even wrong. It’s a shame”, The Rossoneri coach emphasized in his statements to add:
“Even so, we should have scored more goals in the first half, it’s a bad night and we have to react now.”
