MILAN, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri accused the referee of ruining the Milan derby as well as his side's chances following they lost to Inter 1-0 on Sunday.
"Seeing as I never talk about referees, I'm afraid I have to now. The referee affected the game," Allegri was quoted as saying by football-italia.net.
"It was a technical error, as he blew the whistle for half-time 12 seconds early. There was a last man foul on Emanuelson which was given against him. There was maybe a penalty on Robinho, the Nagatomo red card was obvious as he couldn't not give him another yellow for that.
"This is not an alibi and perhaps today the referee was unlucky, but the incidents were really obvious.
"I have no idea what the referee whistled for on the Montolivo goal. Let's just say he was unlucky on the decisive incidents, as the goal would've been crucial, there was a penalty and Samuel was last man too," he said.
