Como-Juve, controversy erupts: Fabregas furious, Gatti responds to him
Como coach Cesc Fabregas has harshly attacked Abisso’s refereeing direction and the Var after the 2-1 loss to Juventus. In the Spanish coach's crosshairs was the penalty not awarded to the Como team in the second half for the touch of hands in the area of the Juventus defender Gatti.
"I won’t shut up today. This è a very clear penalty – Fabregas told Dazn -. Enough is enough. I do not blame the referee who may not see but the Var must see and it is the Var that gives me doubts. Doubts about how match situations are handled in that room".
Gatti responded harshly to Fabregas: "I haven’t seen it again but it is strange to me from a coach who has played at such high levels…. Now for every half touch you give yourself a penalty. In today’s soccer we defenders are too penalized, you can’t do anything anymore, you never understand the’entity’of a foul that happens on the field. If we give penalties like thatì we stop playing. Yes, I put my hand on the player’s body but if they give penalties like this we stop playing".
Fabregas during his speech listed the episodes that in his opinion have penalized the team in recent weeks: "Against Lazio Gigot enters hard on Nico Paz: I’m not saying that è red, but è I lose a player for three games and not even a whistle or a yellow card comes. With Milan, very obvious foul in the middle of the field: nothing, corner and 1-1. Against Udinese Goldaniga does not touch the player, second yellow and expulsion. The'opposite happens with Luca Pellegrini after a foul on Diao".
