“Cristiano was rightly angry”

Andrea Pirlo appeared before the media this Friday in the run-up to the derby against Torino. The Juventus coach has taken advantage of his appearance to break a spear in favor of Cristiano after the controversy generated by the goal that was annulled against Serbia, in a qualifying match for the 2022 World Cup.

Last Saturday, with 2-2 on the scoreboard, Cristiano Ronaldo shot and the Serbian Mitrovic took the ball when he had already crossed the goal line, but the goal was not validated. After the play, Cristiano Ronaldo protested, received a yellow card and threw the captain's armband onto the pitch at the Rajko Mitic stadium in Belgrade. “Cristiano is fine after the commitments with the national team. He was rightly angry, the qualifying games for the World Cup must have VAR and goal-line technology”, said the Juventus coach.

Pirlo also announced that the three players who participated in a night party last Wednesday (Paulo Dybala, Arthur Melo and Weston McKennie) They are not in the call for the duel against Torino. “The three players in question They will not be summoned, then we will see when they will return to work. I am not going to talk more about the subject, enough has already been said. It was not the right time. We have to set an example, “he revealed.
