The head coach of «Milan», Paulo Fonseca, known for his constant discussions about refereeing in the Ukrainian championship during his time coaching Donetsk «Shakhtar», has now taken on referee issues in Serie A. With typical complaints, the Portuguese specialist spoke after his team’s defeat to «Atalanta» (1:2) in yesterday's match of the 15th round of the Italian championship against «Cagliari».
«I always keep quiet about refereeing while others speak. But today I am tired of being silent. The refereeing in this match was directed against “Milan”. The first goal against us was scored with a clear violation of rules, there is no doubt about this. We started losing due to a goal that should have been disallowed.
This did not start today. I understand that refereeing is a difficult job, but I am tired of watching the same decisions being made regarding the same clubs. For other clubs, they have no doubts, but in regards to “Milan” they always act this way. There is no respect for “Milan”.
I am not afraid to speak the truth. I have always respected the work of referees, but it’s the same thing every week. They do not respect “Milan”. I am upset that I have to speak about referees, but I feel indignant. This happens every week», — Football Italia quotes Fonseca.
