On September 28, in the 6th round of Serie A, Lecce lost 0-3 as visitors to AC Milan. Lecce’s coach, Gotti, was extremely dissatisfied with the referee’s decisions, believing that unfair calls led to their heavy defeat.
Gotti, when discussing this loss, expressed great dissatisfaction with the referee’s performance: “In the first 38 minutes of the game, we played very well. Not only did we defend well, but we also threatened their goal with counterattacks. But everything changed when the referee awarded Milan a non-existent free kick, which they then used to score. That call by the referee was absurd.”
Gotti stated that the second goal they conceded quickly thereafter also stemmed from a misjudgment: “After that, Dogu was fouled in the frontcourt by the opponent, and the referee should have awarded us a free kick. However, we did not get this free kick, and Milan then took advantage of this situation to launch a quick counterattack and score their second goal.”
Gotti indicated that after conceding two goals in quick succession, Lecce could no longer withstand the pressure from their opponents: “We don’t have much experience in the Serie A, so we conceded a third goal soon after. Milan is a great team, and they can use their advantageous situations to quickly secure victory.”
