Germany Star Reflects On Costly Handball Penalty In Inter Milan 2-2 Lazio Serie A Clash: ‘It Can Happen, Let’s Move On’ | OneFootball

Yann Bisseck wants to “move on” from his handball penalty for Inter Milan in their costly 2-2 draw against Lazio.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the UEFA Open Media day, via FCInterNews, the German looked back on the pivotal incident.

Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck had a mach of ups and downs against Lazio a couple weeks ago.

First, the German international scored Inter’s opening goal right on the stroke of halftime.

However, in the match’s closing stages, Bisseck gave away a handball penalty.

At this stage, the Nerazzurri were 2-1 up on the night.

Meanwhile, Napoli were drawing their own match away to Parma.

Had Inter held on to their advantage, then they would have gone ahead of Napoli in the table. However, Pedro equalized for Lazio, and things remained level at the top of the table.

“Football is like that,” said the 24-year-old.

“Sometimes it goes well. Other times, not so much.”

“I feel sorry to everyone else,” Bisseck said. “But I don’t feel sorry for myself.”

“For the fans, we were so close to the Scudetto. It happened. But I have to look forward and move on.”

Then, Bisseck stated that “I think I played a good match against Lazio, but everyone just thinks back to that last moment.”

“Even I forget that I had even scored,” the German said.

“But that’s how football is. I have to grow, it can happen. But Saturday is the most important thing, and I’ll be fine.”

Then, Bisseck admitted that “sometimes my arm is too far out from my body.”

“But I’m 24 years old. These kinds of things will happen again in the future.”

“But I have to keep playing,” Bisseck emphasized.

“I know that the coach and my teammates consider me to be a player who can help the team. And I have to show it on the pitch.”

And of the controversy around the handball, Bisseck commented that “if the referee says that it’s a penalty, then it probably was one.”
