Milan v Verona: “Penalty changed the game,” says Zanetti’s assistant | OneFootball

At the end of Milan-Verona, Alberto Bertolini commented on Hellas’s performance after the defeat at San Siro, analyzing the key moments of the match and the difficulties faced against the Rossoneri.

Milan-Verona, Zanetti’s assistant speaks: “Perfection was needed, the penalty set the tone for the match”

Speaking to DAZN, Verona’s assistant coach, who was on the bench in place of the suspended Paolo Zanetti, explained: “We played the match we had prepared for, with a first half of great compactness in which Milan created few chances. To get points at San Siro, you need perfection,” said Bertolini. “The goal conceded from a corner at the end of the first half and the penalty at the start of the second half set the tone for the game, making everything much more complicated.”

On the substitutions, Bertolini added: “We needed fresh energy, because it didn’t seem like we were being incisive enough. We needed something extra to try to get the match back on track.”

Inevitably, there was a comment on the penalty incident: “While respecting the referee’s decisions, you see a lot of these kinds of episodes, with similar half-holds. It seemed a bit like a soft penalty to me,” Bertolini emphasized. “It’s clear that it had a big mental impact: in those ten minutes we were a bit shaken. It didn’t seem like a clear-cut penalty to us, at least from our point of view,” Bertolini concluded.
