AC Milan head coach, Pioli, was furious after the final whistle with the referee Daniel Siebert who showed a red card to Fikayo Tomori after a soft touch on Mount, and thus giving a penalty. Here are the words of the Rossoneri coach to Mediaset Infinity+:
"The match has begun and I had the feeling that we could have a good match. The penalty and the expulsion changed the game, against an opponent who were an already strong team and didn't need to stay with an extra man. We had opportunities to reopen it. It's a shame: the feeling was that of playing for it."
Do you want to review the penalty:
"No, I think it's too obvious and too easy to judge. I told the referee what I thought at the end of the game, I don't speak so fluent English but I think he understood."
Pioli was asked if the team will make a reaction:
"They will certainly guarantee it. It is a negative result. However, our fate is in our hands. If we want to prove that we are competitive in Europe as well, we must win the next two and we have the possibility. coach. Let's get our energy back."
Do you think you can pass the group stage?
"Absolutely yes, we have to believe in it. We go to Zagreb to play our football then we play here (San Siro) against RB Salzburg. We have paid dearly for the red card moment. We thank the fans for their support. If we managed to keep the match in balance today, a lot of credit goes to our fans."
