 Tursk angry at referee
Reggio Calabria, 5th of November 2006 - Torino manager Tanel Tursk is angry at referee Domenico Messina for sending off Nikola Lazetic after just 21 minutes in a thrilling 3-3 draw againist Reggina.
 Lazetic leaves the pitch
Torino side grabed the lead through Elvis Abbruscato, but then Nikola Lazetic got sent off with a second bookable offence and Torino fell 1-3 behind.
The Turin side recovered later though and scored two goals in a thrilling and well-balanced match to end the match with a draw.
"I'm really angry at this decision. You don't give out second yellow for such a simply foul. And his first yellow was also for a soft tackle that even barely harmed the opponent," Tursk blamed to the media.
"He gave out far too many yellow cards, for both sides. This was ridicilous. That wasn't a dirty match, but for Messina every tackle seems to be worth a yellow," he said.
"Now switching to the other subjects, I think we had a great match. And with Lazetic we would've probably won it no doubt. The come-back was well deserved and we almost hit the winner very late in the game thanks to De Ascentis, but Pelizzoli performed an amazing save."
Though when said that his team relies on Abbruscato's goals Tursk wasn't happy to hear it.
"We don't depend on Elvis. He is just another great talent in the squad. Everyone has his own talents to offer. He offers us goals, Lazetic offers us great crosses, Rosina offers us his lion heart and so on. It's true that Abbruscato has been one of the key members and I hope he can get the top scorer title at the end of the season as that'd mean that we'd score lots of goals."
Torino's next Serie A match is at home againist Fiorentina, but there is a break between and before the break they'll meet Palermo in Coppa Italia. |
