Cagliari rage: Davide Nicola won’t talk, club riots
The anger in the post-game è skyrocketing.
Cagliari defeated by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, and forced to end the match with nine men for the lightning expulsions of Mina and Adopo sent off by the referee within seconds of each other. A situation that led the Rossoblù to send the ds Nereo Bonato and not the coach Davide Nicola to speak to the press, not hiding a deep disappointment.
"On our part there's discontent and disappointment with the way the referee handled the match,” Bonato told 'Sky Sport'. The match direction penalized Cagliari beyond measure, particularly the way the cards were handled. The match was quiet, and to have eight cautioned seems almost impossible. All this è proved decisive for the final result".
"These are aspects that should be emphasized, becauseé against Lazio had come an important performance by Cagliari. We had taken back the result, then the way the stages following the penalty were handled we didn't like at all – continued Bonato -. The referee cautioned Mina for a foul that occurred while his back was turned, then drew another yellow for the ensuing excitement".
"These are decisions that penalize us today, but above all they will affect the next game against Milan. It seems to me that on the field the Cagliari players had an attitude that was anything but negative, so more serenity would have been needed in management. I pointed this out to the referee, politely. Becauseé on Luvumbo the situation was not è handled in the same way as others", concluded Bonato.
