It was an absolute cinema night yesterday at San Siro. In the Milan-Como match, tempers flared quite a bit. A game that had offered little until Maignan's mistake ended in fire and flames, with holds, red cards, and accompanying heavy insults.
The main characters were Allegri and Fabregas, who exchanged words all evening, first on the field and then, especially, in the mixed zone and at the press conference.
But let's start from the beginning.
😳 Cesc's Hold
At the 79th minute, something happens that is not often seen on Serie A fields. Saelemaekers is on the right wing, pressed by two Como players, when he feels a hold.
The incredible thing here is that it wasn't either of the two opponents pulling the shirt, but the coach of the Larians, Fabregas. The images speak for themselves.
In the post-match, as mentioned, the Spanish coach apologized, admitting that hands "should be kept at home, as Chivu says. I hope never to do it again.”
An admission of guilt that Allegri did not appreciate: "I understand the apologies, but then next time someone runs down the line, I'll slide in too...".
😡 The Insults in the Conference Room
The tone was far less calm a little later, at the entrance to the press room. There, the Milan coach reportedly heavily insulted his colleague, calling him "a jerk, a kid who has just started coaching".
Now, all eyes are on the report from the Sports Judge, who could suspend Allegri for more than one match. But also issue a suspension to Fabregas, who in all this - and perhaps the most absurd thing here - is the one of the two who was not sent off by the match director.
