Farioli on refereeing v Casa Pia: “We can't keep getting cards like this…” | OneFootball

About what he wants to see more from the team, he said: “Stay in the game longer. In the second half, I think we lost our structure a bit and then it’s a domino effect. There are definitely things to improve. The way we play is physically and mentally demanding, because there are a lot of decisions to make, the players are very exposed to duels, contact, having to make decisions under pressure. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the team and with what the players are doing, on match day but especially during the week.”

And regarding the referee’s criteria? “I said yesterday that I’d like to avoid talking about referees, but… I was a bit afraid of the dynamic. When that affects the decisions you have to make in the game… If we keep up this pace of yellow cards, by the sixth or seventh week we’ll have someone suspended. I don’t think that’s what we deserve.”
