AI-generated summary
Atalanta lost 3-2 to Milan in a Serie A match played at the San Siro stadium in Milan. During the match there were controversial episodes linked to refereeing decisions, including alleged unsanctioned handballs and VAR interventions.
The first big scoring opportunity of the match was ours with Krstovic. Then there were also contrary episodes, because the ball on the defender's arm was hit three times: twice in our area and they were called to the VAR, and once in the Milan area and it wasn't called to the VAR on Rowe's cross, I think it was De Winter's hand": this is the controversy of the Atalanta coach, Maurizio Sarri, on Sky Sport after the 3-2 defeat at San Siro against Milan.
"Then today I also discovered something new - he adds - that there are players who can 'send the referee to f...'.
Who doesn't matter. At the end of the first half I asked the referee if, according to the rules, there was someone who could 'send him to fuck...' and he told me yes but that he warned him however. So I told him that if I send him, he'll send me out, rightly so. So let's forget about it, we absolutely didn't like the management, but every time I meet Chiffi at San Siro it ends up like this. However, we are sorry not to have collected points and above all we are sorry that we had the ball to make it 3-3 with six minutes to go", concludes Sarri.
