WHAT MARESCA SAID
After the game, Maresca said in a press conference: “He was there in the changing room with ice. We are waiting now. Hopefully it is nothing important and then I know you are going to ask me about the referee’s decision. They showed me before the press conference, I think it is quite clear almost for all of us but the referees there did not take the decision and they made a different decision.”
Asked what he said after entering the field after the game, Maresca said: “Yes. I just said, for me, when there is no intention to go for the ball and he goes for the player. It’s a red.”
