The owner of Udinese Gianpaolo Pozzo spoke to the microphones of SportItalia returning to the refereeing controversies following the draw of Cannavaro’s team against Empoli. In the past few hours the blue president Fabrizio Corsi he expressed himself as follows on the matter: “Both the disallowed goal and the penalty after time expired are serious episodes, but we have known since the start of the championship that things like this could have happened to us. Compared to other presidents, perhaps I have less media power and I cannot determine… But now we focus our attention and energy on the match against Roma, everything else distracts us, maybe everything will balance out on the last day.”
This is the response from Udinese’s number one: “We do not believe that Empoli suffered refereeing errors. On the disallowed goal, the VAR rightly reveals an elbow, rather on the penalty awarded to Empoli Cambiaghi comes in with his leg outstretched on Samardzic and Fazzini misses the red on our penalty kick.
We were surprised by the statements of Corsi, a person in football for many years, in which he talks about rebalancing in the match against Roma, almost seeming to want to invoke a referee’s favor. The ironic words about his housekeeper being sure of our victory in Lecce, in which the professionalism of Lecce is also called into question, are also offensive.”
