 | Pirlo challenged the penalty14-02-2021 |
Juventus head coach Andrea Pirlo was not at all pleased with the refereeing in the match against Napoli. He expressed doubts about the penalty from which Lorenzo Insigne scored the only goal and pointed out that the hosts did not have any other clean sheets.
`They didn`t hit another goal and we actually lost from a discussion penalty. It`s a pity we didn`t win because we played well, but the result is not what we hoped for. We passed exactly but not`Fast enough. In the second half we became more aggressive and added dynamism to our actions. We only needed a goal, ` commented Pirlo.
`If this is awarded as a penalty, then almost every contact in the penalty area must be punished. If such a penalty was given to us, there would be countless complaints. I am just saying that the penalty was controversial, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo could getsecond yellow card. Some situations are interpreted differently when they are against Juventus, because everyone is talking about us `, Pirlo did not hide his disappointment. `
It`s normal that with such a busy calendar in some matches we are not so fresh. But despite everything, our performance was good. There is no guarantee that the team with the most goals will win the title. We have created many situationsand the goalkeeper of Napoli was a player of the match. We could have been at the top of the standings with a 10-point lead and a game less, but we are still February and there is time. If we play like today, everything will be fine, `added Juventus coach.
