Davide Astori said the referee “could’ve ruined our season” in Fiorentina’s 2-2 draw with Basel. “We expect someone up to the task.”
The Viola should’ve had a penalty in the opening minutes for handball, then Basel’s second goal was offside.
“Considering the natural calamities in this game, the draw is to be considered an excellent result,” an angry Astori told Radio Bruno.

“Considering the natural calamities in this game, the draw is to be considered an excellent result,” an angry Astori told Radio Bruno.
“I don’t like talking about referees, but tonight he really could’ve ruined our season. We expect officials who are up to the task from here on in.”
Yet few could argue with Facundo Roncaglia’s red card for an elbow on Breel Embolo.
“It is part of his overall aggressive attitude and we know that we mustn’t make certain fouls, as they could prove even more costly in future.
“Today we reacted to difficulties, as we know our strength. We want to win against Belenenses, even if just a draw is enough to qualify.
“What is our objective this season? It seems a shame to choose… so I pick the Treble.”
