Gasperini ‘serious doubts’ over disallowed Atalanta goal

If Roma refused to speak to the media, then Gian Piero Gasperini insists Atalanta ‘have critical doubts’ over the disallowed Gianluca Scamacca aim too. ‘It was not possible for the referee in that environment.’

La Dea had taken the early lead on the Stadio Olimpico by way of a Teun Koopmeiners header, nevertheless it was cancelled out by the Paulo Dybala penalty for a slipshod Matteo Ruggeri intervention on Rick Karsdorp.

“Undoubtedly, it’s a good level for us, as Carnesecchi made some good saves, however we too had probabilities. For instance, an enormous alternative with De Ketelaere when already 1-0 up,” Gasperini advised DAZN.

“Lukaku and Dybala elevate the extent of a robust group, however clearly we may’ve prevented the penalty scenario. We’re additionally left with many doubts on the Scamacca aim that was disallowed.

“It was not a straightforward environment to play in, as proven by the truth that we had six yellow playing cards and Roma just one, regardless of having the identical variety of fouls. We’re undoubtedly glad to go away right here with a degree, contemplating the scenario that had been created.”

Jose Mourinho was despatched off in stoppages for dissent, so the Particular Every body the Roma gamers and employees are refusing to talk to the media.

But Atalanta had their protests too, particularly the Scamacca aim that was disallowed for a lightweight push on Nicola Zalewski.

“In my opinion, that’s not a foul and Zalewski is already happening. Do you suppose that may be a foul?” continued Gasperini.

“I don’t condemn the referee in any respect, as a result of it was like being at a bullfighting ring as we speak and it’s nearly not possible for referees to officiate calmly in these conditions.”

It was famous that if the referee had not made the choice on the sector, it won’t essentially have drawn a VAR on-field evaluation.

“The depth of the hand on the again is completely different to a push and for my part, Zalewski realised he was not going to get the ball, so he went down simply. That’s my model, I’m open to listening to different views.”

Atalanta proceed to churn out skills from their youth academy and scouting community, together with goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.

“I agree that this group may be very stable in defence and midfield. We additionally had Holm and Ruggeri, who’re younger on the wings, a really younger goalkeeper and upfront gamers who’re of their early 20s and we count on extra from them.

“The maturation and evolution of this squad goes by way of the forwards, who we actually consider in.”

Giorgio Scalvini is barely 20, however he’s already an everyday for Atalanta and there are stories he has been given a €60m price-tag.

“He looks like a veteran for us! He has nearly 100 aggressive video games behind him, however simply turned 20 final month, so every so often he has these dips in the direction of the top of matches. He’s a participant with nice prospects and we contemplate him one of the crucial dependable gamers we’ve received.”

This level apiece does little to spice up both aspect, nevertheless it does put Atalanta in joint sixth place with Lazio, now three factors off Fiorentina in fourth.

“This can be a tighter and extra balanced marketing campaign in comparison with current years, because the mid-table golf equipment are taking factors off these above them. Sadly, we have now misplaced just a few too many video games within the last minutes – which happily we prevented tonight – and which means our place within the desk is inferior to it may’ve been,” concluded Gasperini.

“Nonetheless, we’re within the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, we topped the Europa League group, so I’ve religion for the second half of the season.”

There’s a busy week arising for Atalanta, who face Milan within the Coppa Italia quarter-final at San Siro on Wednesday, then host Frosinone on Monday night.
