Roberto De Zerbi vents: it’s controversy after the loss to Atalanta
Olympique Marseille’s defeat against Atalanta on the fourth day of the Champions League did not go down well with the French club’s coach, Roberto De Zerbi, who lively contested, not only on the pitch, the actions of Spanish referee Sanchez particularly on the occasion of the decisive goal of the Orobici, scored at 90′ by Samardzic at the end of a disputed action.
“I don’t know exactly what the rule is, but I know that that hand touch prevented Aubameyang from finding himself on the right side of the ball – he said.
“I don“t know exactly the rule, but I do know that that hand touch prevented Aubameyang from finding the ball on his right – De Zerbi commented to the microphones of Sky Sport -. It is sorry because the meter is not uniform, on a similar action they gave us a penalty against in Madrid. Tonight we didn”t deserve to lose and it”s already the third defeat we”ve suffered in a crude way.
The Italian coach of Olympique saved, then, the performance of his team: “Atalanta started very strong in the first twenty minutes but then we controlled well – he said -. It is really sorry to lose like this, it burns and not a little. We played a good game against a team that has players who have known each other for many years”.
L’Olympique Marseille is currently in 25th place in the League Phase, the first of the non-qualifiers, with three points won thanks to a 4-0 thrashing of Ajax last Sept. 30. In the other matches, however, three losses have come: to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu (2-1 on Sept. 16), Sporting in Lisbon (again 2-1 on Oct. 22) and the one to Atalanta.
