The Nerazzurri coach on the eve of the match against Lazio: “You can pretend nothing has happened, but nothing can be resolved”
Lack of clarity, improvisation, uncertainty and confusion. For Gian Piero Gasperini this characterizes Italian football today, in a short circuit between coaches-players-fans on the one hand and the world of referees on the other that must be resolved. Strong words, concepts already affirmed by Atalanta coach, but confirmed today on the eve of the match with Lazio: “There is a very serious problem: in this football I find it hard to understand hand fouls, the WHERE, the contrasts, yet I have been in football for many years. I don’t understand it, the players don’t understand it, the public doesn’t understand it. In too many games unexpected events happen, but above all there is no clarity. In the stands, if I miss a word, I don’t pay the consequences. They tell us: Stop being quiet. But in my opinion it is right to bring out the problem. Then you can pretend nothing has happened, but nothing is solved. Maybe it’s time to do it, but it’s not just about Atalanta, otherwise it’s to the detriment of all football. “

“There have been many episodes – continued Gasperini – including contrasts and handballs, there are too many crazy situations, those who play football do not understand, we are outside and far from the reality of the game, we undoubtedly. Faced with the images, there are different situations. There are no explanations, it is a problem that has been going on for some time “. A very clear appeal from the Bergamo coach who, however, rejects one of the possible solutions, namely that of the on-call VAR:”No, I’m not in favor, I already have too much work to do. I don’t have to be the one to call a warning to an opponent. You see things you don’t understand. Maybe we understand that it is a mistake. Contrasts, for example, are a problem, some are valid and are a spectacular aspect of the game of football. It is not a gesture to be removed. What should I tell my parents? Let’s not fight anymore? It gets complicated, the tags flock like this. It can happen to be wrong, but here some sensational things happen “.
