Gasperini: “Su Chiesa rigori da farce”. Pioli: “You have it with him because he’s strong”

Gasperini was the first to label him as a thumper after the famous penalty of 30 September, in the championship game. After the Italian Cup match on Wednesday evening, Gasperini said: "The penalty of that match was a farce, the worst episode of the Var , even more than the penalty against Inter. Defending Church, saying that it is stumbled, means mocking the opponent and not respecting the opposing fans. That Federico is a great player is the first to support him, but in doing so he is created around a climate of antipathy that leads him to find, in certain trips, opposing environments. And it would be wrong. This is not the way to defend the player, you can not overturn the images ".

Stefano Pioli's reply is ready; "I invite Gasperini to go further. But if you really insist, go at least to review the images of that game, as I did. Federico has stumbled, has not simulated and is not whistled around but admired because he is a formidable player. "
