Roma, Daniele De Rossi raises voice: “Penalty denied, standardize rules”
The result leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, an episode triggers post-game anger.
Daniele De Rossi is not happy after his Roma team’s draw on the field of Lecce. In the aftermatch at the Via del Mare stadium, the Capitolini coach berated his team for a performance that was anything but scintillating, but his complaints also focused on a moviola episode. Specifically, the penalty not awarded by referee Marcenaro on Zalewski.
"This è a difficult field, but I can not speak of a point gained – De Rossi told 'DAZN' -. Today we è lacked a little bit of everything, and in the first half we suffered a lot as we already did on the Fiorentina pitch. We need to improve, to be rougher when playing more direct and to be more precise in the construction phase".
So on the Zalewski episode, De Rossi didn't mince words: "From the field I had not seen anything. Then però I reviewed the footage of the action, and I can say that we were denied a clear penalty. We live in an era when it is enough to step on a little finger to give a penalty, so if there is one, you have to give it. I prefer a soccer in which such an episode does not è warrant a penalty, but if the rules are such they must be the same for everyone. Otherwise everything becomes more difficult" for us.
