The coach does not digest the referee’s lack of uniformity in key episodes. “I would not have given it, as it was done on the penalty requested by Deulofeu”
UDINE. The rigor and the form. Here are the two keys on which Luca Gotti taps during the traditional tour of the seven churches scheduled in the post-match between TV, radio and the press room.
But if the tactical argument is prompted by the questions, ready to dig into the turning point of the second half, when Udinese went from the classic 3-5-2 to a 4-2-3-1 that it had never staged with the Contarina technician. The subject most felt by the protagonist, however, is that cursed shot from the spot. “Losing for a penalty taken like this hurts”, he immediately underlines to outline the contours of his intervention.
Unfavorable circumstances
We have to be honest. Never since November 2019, when he took over the Juventus reins, has Gotti been heard so insistently about the referees’ decisions, a sign that this time the indecisions of Mr. Davide Ghersini from Genoa really had an impact on the outcome of the match. “I never go to review episodes usually and I have no negative thoughts, but I have reviewed this episode and I find it absurd that you can give such a penalty, because then you think about all the half and half situations that have happened to you in the past too . If this is a penalty on Pereyra against Napoli, what was it? I would not have given it, as it was done on what could have been on Deulofeu ».
Gotti neglects the other episode, the one in the finale (also this doubt) about Pussetti, he prefers to speak almost to remove the cork of dissatisfaction. «Two years ago we suffered 10 penalties with zero in favor, 14 penalties last year and it was a record. And then they often came to tell us that these were not penalties ”, the last consideration in reference, evidently to relations in private with the top of the referee class. Who knows what the Florentine Rocchi, the new designator, will say this time.
Tactical choices
They were dictated by the game. «Udinese this year has more solutions. I have players who have not only technique but also energy », says Gotti before explaining the reason for a change of form in the race.
«In the first half, the way they were handling the ball, we had complicated climbs and didn’t arrive with the right times. The change in the game system and the inclusion of pawns from the bench with other characteristics gave us something more ». In short, 4-2-3-1 promoted, the project seems valid even if it did not lead to a draw, perhaps thanks to the fatigue, dictated by the three games in less than seven days, fatigue that clouded the ideas of the bianconeri. “In the last ten minutes with more energy we could have pressed more continuously,” admits Gotti. Amen, it’s time to immediately turn the page and think about Sampdoria.
