Gian Piero Gasperini and Enrico Preziosi were “furious” with Diego Perotti after Genoa’s eighth red card.
The dismissal, for lashing out an elbow, proved costly when Bologna snatched a last-gasp 1-0 victory at Marassi on Saturday.
“I am furious. It’s absolutely unacceptable to lose this way,” President Preziosi told Radio Nostalgia.
Gian Piero Gasperini and Enrico Preziosi were “furious” with Diego Perotti after Genoa’s eighth red card.
The dismissal, for lashing out an elbow, proved costly when Bologna snatched a last-gasp 1-0 victory at Marassi on Saturday.
“I am furious. It’s absolutely unacceptable to lose this way,” President Preziosi told Radio Nostalgia.
“The madness of Perotti’s elbow is a symbol of the frenetic way we’re approaching the situation. What is the point working hard to win a game when we always go down to 10 men?
“I am simply astounded. This is a match we deserved to win 4-0, instead we managed to lose at home to both Bologna and Carpi.
“What a horrible campaign. It feels like we’re cursed.”
Genoa have the worst disciplinary record in Serie A this season and Perotti had only just returned from suspension for another red card against Sassuolo.
Striker Leonardo Pavoletti is sitting out a three-match ban for lashing out an elbow only six minutes into a 2-1 home defeat to Carpi.
“This one really does weigh on us. It’s hard to swallow. It is so damaging for us to play so many games when a man down. We have to reflect on what we’re doing,” Coach Gasperini told Mediaset Premium.
“We are making life difficult for ourselves. We are not a ‘nasty’ team. I don’t know if Perotti was trying to shrug off his opponent, but if he struck him in the face then it’s a red card.
“Bologna did so little and yet emerged with three points. We have got to focus on resolving these issues.”
