The former Cesena centre-forward has spoken about his apprehensions ahead of the match against AC Milan, stating the referees have come under unprecedented pressure.
Palermo centre-forward, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Budan-c16686, was talking about his fears after the tumultuous week 25 of Serie A ended with huge controversies.
The biggest controversy of the matchday 25 came about in the Milan-Juve clash, which had two goals disallowed, one apiece for both teams.
The Rossoneri were denied a goal after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Matri-c4733 was
adjudged to be offside after he scored a goal coming off the bench, the decision was the second controversy of the match.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Silva and Silvio Berlusconi have commented on the situation, and both have reflected on the use of technology to be incorporated in the big matches.
Palermo’s match against Siena was also embroiled in controversy, after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Federico-Balzaretti-c13451 was given the marching orders, minutes after the start of the match. Besides the red-card, Palermo felt hard done
by the penalty kick which was awarded to the Robur. Palermo chief, Maurizio Zamparini, was very vocal in his displeasure, and Budan feels that this has put the referees under great pressure.
The 31-year-old believes that the referee will be extra cautious in his team’s next match, as they will not like to risk the wrath of Milan players again.
“Saturday will see the most significant pressure put on the referee. They always say that we must leave them in piece, even if we also have pressure on us. We have to accept as players, they are like us.”
Echoing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903’s cry for the use of technology in the modern game, the Croatian striker added:
“Technology? I am in favour of it. Today, the errors will be accepted, but we could help ourselves with such things. You could start putting a referee behind each goal, as they do in European competition.”
Palermo play AC Milan in matchday 26 encounter of the Serie A on Saturday, 3rd March.
