AC Milan’s coach, Vincenzo Montella, did not hold back in the post-match press conference heavily criticizing VAR decisions on certain key moments. 

A year ago, the first Milan of Vincenzo Montella traveled at a rhythm of third place in classification: on the ninth week Locatelli’s goal against Juve made San Siro go crazy and L’Aeroplanino enjoyed 19 points in the standings.

Field situations can not become television, Var should be remodeled … I think that if Bonucci hadn’t cause a wound to the opponent, he would have been sent off. Leonardo was sorry, he told everyone, unfortunately we’re paying for everything. ” The controversy over the Var also goes on alleged Kalinic’s penalty: “Was it a penalty? Giacomelli was very careful, ask him and Var if it was a foul …
