Marco Giampaolo expressed a lot of emotions and anger during the game against AC Milan tonight as his side lost 1-2. He received a red card in the final minutes of the match. He said these words to Sky Sport Italia after the game:
"After Leao's expulsion, which was sacrostant, the referee went one way. I don't think we should referee with arrogance. The points at stake were also important for us. My red is right because I called him a jerk, but you can't manage matches like that. I've never been polemical with the referees, as well as Sampdoria, but the management of Fabbri was wrong, I didn't like it."
On his team's performance:
"We only made a mistake in the match against Salernitana and we managed 8 minutes badly in Verona. I continue to have great faith in my players."
On Manolo Gabbiadini:
"He is a striker, putting him on the wing is a stretch. When we play with the two strikers he will play. I have to make choices. Leris played a great game on Theo. Gabbiadini could not have held up a match like this."
Giampaolo on Rafael Leao:
"Leao, when the field opens, he is strong. Maignan can play short passes, but he can also throw to Leao, who, if he accelerates, then you don't won't him. Stopping him completely is impossible, you have to try to limit him. Nobody stops him in Serie A."
