Carletto’s ref furyMilan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has slammed Italian referees after his side’s 2-0 defeat to Atalanta. “Sometimes I think it’s a conspiracy,†he declared.
The Rossoneri are now 17 points behind League leaders Inter after their third defeat in four Serie A matches.
But although the tactician admits that there are problems that his side needs to solve, there are some factors that claims he has no control over.
“I’m very angry, this is the third or fourth time this season that we are penalised by the referee,†said Ancelotti, referring to several penalty claims that were turned down by Tiziano Pieri during the match at the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia.
“What is taking place is under everyone’s eyes is clear. There have been too many negative episodes over the last 10 days.
“We were denied yet another penalty [for a foul on Daniele Bonera], which could have changed the match and there was a strange call in the second half made on Yoann Gourcuff.
“I like to think these things happen by chance, I believe in this system, and we have to have faith and hope. But unfortunately, they are happening to us with increasing frequency.â€
Ancelotti was ready to take some of the blame for the defeat to the Bergamaschi, but believes that the main reason for the Rossoneri’s struggles is down to the men in black.
“We have problems carrying out our game, but there are also other issues here,†insisted the former Juventus boss.
“It is not a good situation for us at the moment, so we have to work harder paying attention to the problems we can solve.
“However, others have to ensure that games are refereed in a correct way. Furthermore, they didn’t even reduce our point deduction – I can only say things are strange.â€
