Andrea Sottil goes down hard on referee and Var

Friulians’ coach recriminates over 1-1 penalty shot

Despite a decent performance, Udinese left the Meazza pitch with a 4-2 defeat, thus leaving Milan with the three points. A result on which, according to Friulani coach Andrea Sottil, would affect the disputed decision of referee Marinelli and Var Mazzoleni to award the penalty, after contact between Soppy and Calabria, that Theo Hernandez converted in the 11th minute canceling the initial Bianconeri advantage of Becao.

“The penalty was absolutely not there,” Sottil commented to the microphones of ‘Dazn,’ “It affected the economy of the match. It was not easy to come and play against Milan but we showed personality especially in the first half. It’s a big regret that we didn’t collect anything.”

“We have to continue on this path,” the Friulan coach added, “I have asked the boys from day one to play good soccer, to translate their characteristics into quality of play.
