Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta coach, declared this Wednesday that if he said what he thinks in relation to the direct red card seen by the Swiss Remo Freuler against Real Madrid, UEFA would sanction him with “two months” of suspension.
“There is a temptation to remove all kinds of contacts, and this is suicide. I don’t say anything because if not, UEFA throws me two months, I don’t know. This is suicide for football, it is necessary to have more knowledge of football, We cannot have referees who did not play football. If they don’t understand it, let them do another job, “said Gasperini at the end of the match, in statements to Sky Sports.
“This is impossible, You don’t have to be NASA engineers to understand it. Tonight is clamorous, “he added.
Gasperini referred to the severe expulsion seen in 18 by Freuler for knocking down the French Ferland Mendy when he was going to face the rival goal.
Contact with Freuler was evident, but Argentine defender Cristian Romero was in a position to intervene as well, according to the coach’s interpretation.
Finally, Mendy decided the game with a curved right hand from outside the area in the 86th minute.
“The bitterness remains for not having been able to play a game that we had been waiting for for a long time. Our satisfaction was being able to play against Madrid, and in this way the game was ruined. I don’t know what would happen, but the game changed, we had to defend. It is a party ruined by an excessive decision ”, said Gasperini.
“With eleven it would be a different game. There is talk of absences, Benzema, Ramos, Carvajal, but the others were not all starters. His technique was excellent. Without the red it would have been another game. We are sorry because the game changed radically. It would be a more beautiful match, the match was ruined, ”he insisted, visibly disappointed.
However, Gasperini expressed his optimism with a view to the return crossing: “It is enough to go to Madrid to win. We are in the best position, We only have one result left and we have to do the feat. Obviously this game weighs, we hoped to achieve a different result ”.
