Pioli: VAR should only intervene when the referee is obviously wrong. We should not lose. All the responsibility lies with me.

In the seventh round of Serie A this morning, Fiorentina lost 1-2 away to Milan. Fiorentina coach Pioli was interviewed after the game.

Pioli first said: "One of the reasons I regret is that Fiorentina had high hopes for me, but unfortunately we did not achieve the expected results. We must strive to do better, and we not only represent ourselves. Unfortunately, I heard a lot of comments, some even superficial, but this is the reality. We must do better, starting with myself."

Fiorentina scored one goal in the game, but then Milan scored two goals to reverse the victory. Pioli then talked about VAR's intervention in the penalty kick awarded to Milan, "If we do this, it will encourage players to cover their faces and make exaggerated reactions. I always start from the first principle that the referee tells us: VAR will only intervene when the referee makes an obvious error."

Little Keane returned from injury and started the game, but was replaced in the 77th minute. Pioli went on to say: "Replacing him was not for technical reasons. At that time, Keane had begun to feel discomfort in his ankle, and Piccoli could bring us more vitality after coming off the bench. We did a good job passing the ball in the game, but we still need more vertical advancement, but we have performed as we should."

Pioli then said: "We were equalized by the opponent when a player left the field for treatment, and then there was the penalty kick. But in fact we did not give the opponent much. Chances are, we shouldn't lose this game. We controlled the ball very well and Milan had not had a shot on target until then. We have performed well against the top teams. "

In the end, Pioli said: "All the responsibility lies with me, not with the club. They have given me the best conditions. There were no problems in the dressing room, it was just that the result was not good for us. Ranieri was ready to return but we paid dearly for everything. "
