“We had scored the equaliser. They [referees] have something to explain,” Nesta told DAZN.

“I don’t understand why he blew the whistle. Maybe it’s me; I don’t know.

“They have to explain to us. Retegui and Pablo Marì hit each other for the whole game, and then he saw something like this. Is this a foul? I can’t understand,” continued the former defender.

“They blow the whistle too often, but they must see something. Nothing happened here. It’s a shame.

“Maybe it’s offside, but the referee said it was a foul. Is this a foul? What kind of foul is this?”

Monza have eight points in 10 games, as many as Lecce and Venezia in the relegation zone.
