A Milan will have to face the away match in Udine (match scheduled at 8:45 p.m. Saturday) without its coach, Massimiliano Allegri, ferred by the Giudice Sportivo after Sunday night’s expulsion in the Milan-Bologna final: a red card that came after vibrant protests over the revocation of a penalty kick after a disputed analysis at the VAR.

Talking in a press conference, the Rossoneri coach returned to the episode and the controversy related to the often disputed decisions made by referees after consulting with the VAR Center in Lissone: “I honestly don&#8220t know how the situation can be improved– Allegri said. VAR has decreased errors but there are subjective situations that can lead to mistakes, it”.

“I don&#8220t have to be the one to say how they can improve: I’m a coach, I have to think about putting the formation on the field. Certainly I am the one who gets angry…” then reiterated, smiling, the Livorno-born coach, who returned this year to Milan eleven and a half years after his previous experience with the Rossoneri, in which he won his first Scudetto as coach.

Acc Milan is engaged at home to Udinese in the fourth day of the championship: the Rossoneri come from two consecutive victories against Lecce and Bologna, making up for the first-day knockout against Cremonese, but at home to the Friulians they will have to do without not only their coach on the sidelines, but also the injured Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan.
