Runjaić refuses to blame referee but Udinese draw ‘possible’ against Milan | OneFootball

Udinese had two goals disallowed against Milan, but Kosta Runjaić refused to blame the referee, insisting that a draw against the Rossoneri was ‘possible.’

Udinese had two goals disallowed against Milan on Saturday, including one in the stoppages in the second half.

“I’m not a referee. I am the coach. It’s senseless to say anything,” Runjaić told DAZN.

“I saw the situation from the line, and it’s the referee’s responsibility, not mine. At least, I’m pretty doubtful with Kabasele; I think it could be a penalty. It’s not my decision, but it makes no sense to discuss it much because now it’s done.”

Udinese played one man up for over an hour as Tijjani Reijnders was sent off at minute 29. Could Udinese do more, considering the numerical advantage?

“I’m not satisfied with how we started the game, especially the first ten minutes,” said the Udinese boss.

“Even with a man up, it was not easy against a team that defended deep. We needed patience, good passing rhythm and circulation and a bit of luck. Unfortunately, we didn’t create that many chances. Surely I don’t like the result because it was possible to go home with a draw.”

How about Lorenzo Lucca’s development?

“He is a young striker. He needs time and experience. Every game will help him make a step forward. We will support him. Let’s see what he can bring at all times,” concluded Runjaić.
