Coach Maran after the defeat to Finland: We were penalised by the referee’s decisions

After the 2-1 defeat to Finland, Rolando Maran did not hide his disappointment.

The Italian coach said the team deserved the victory, even though it was playing with 10 players.

He also added that the team was penalised by some of the referee’s decisions, which in his view were incomprehensible.

“We deserved a very good result. We deserved the victory too, even though we played with 10 players. We were penalised by the red card, but the team reacted very well.

We need to improve some things. But a performance like this makes us move forward. We were also penalised by some refereeing decisions that are somewhat incomprehensible. In any case, we continue to move forward.

We played a very good match. We needed Manaj on the field, because he is always in contact with the ball. We could also have used the spaces that Muçi created. The match penalised us, which is why we also substituted Hoxha,” Maran said.
