Galliani rages at ref

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has blamed referee Christian Brighi for his side’s shock defeat against Atalanta.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men were humbled by the Bergamo boys 2-1, but the Rossoneri felt the officials’ decisions didn’t help their cause.

“The match was completely decided by the referee,” Galliani raged on the Milan Channel.

“The first half was our fault, but then Brighi made three consecutive mistakes and that proved fatal.

“One error penalised us and the other two favoured them, but there is no point complaining because we are told that everything is fine these days.

“Sergio Floccari’s foul on Massimo Oddo for the first goal was incredible. Clarence Seedorf’s disallowed goal was valid. It’s amazing how the linesman next to Antonio Langella didn’t notice that he was playing Clarence onside.

“And then of course, Massimo Ambrosini’s goal was legitimate. But at the end of the day we have unfortunately lost at home once again.”

Milan are now in sixth place, but their deficit on Fiorentina remains four points after the Viola were beaten by Udinese.
