AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli has criticised the inconsistency of referee Paolo Valeri's performance in Thursday night's Coppa Italia draw.
Pioli spoke to Milan TV after the game, and his words were transcribed by MilanNews.it.
On the penalty: “I was present at the meeting. On the first or second day, in Cagliari-Brescia, there was a penalty foul by Cerri who was hit on the arm by the ball while it was shot and it was said that the penalty should not be called Today is the situation is identical. Before then there was a clear foul on Ibra who was not whistled. We were certainly damaged.
“A referee must use the same system. If there is a foul there is for both of us. However, we continue to play like this. I am satisfied with the boys and the fans must be too.
“It went like this, we must be stronger than these things too. On the return we will need a feat, we will need an extraordinary effort. We must continue like this and think immediately about the championship. We played two intense games, we must see how we will recover We want to do well against Torino and in the championship.”
