Sinisa Mihajlovic criticised both the referee and his own players after Torino’s defeat against Atalanta.

Iago Falque’s opener for the Granata was cancelled out when debutant Joe Hart’s error from a corner allowed Andrea Masiello to score. Franck Kessie’s late penalty then completed Atalanta’s comeback.

“I’m not going to speak about the referee, but if I get angry there is a reason,” Mihajlovic told reporters.

Sinisa Mihajlovic criticised both the referee and his own players after Torino’s defeat against Atalanta.

Iago Falque’s opener for the Granata was cancelled out when debutant Joe Hart’s error from a corner allowed Andrea Masiello to score. Franck Kessie’s late penalty then completed Atalanta’s comeback.

“I’m not going to speak about the referee, but if I get angry there is a reason,” Mihajlovic told reporters.

“It’s absurd that in two years I have been sent off four times for little things like kicking a bottle and then they don’t watch what is going on on the pitch!

“I am not convinced by the penalty either, it punishes us too much. De Silvestri is on the floor, turned away from the ball and does not see the opponent.”

The Serbian Coach did however accept that his team were not at their best against La Dea, although he believes a draw would have been a fairer result.

“Am I satisfied with the performance? No, not at all. In the first half we were too nervous, creating little or nothing.

“However, I think that a draw would have been a fairer result. Our aim in every game is to play our match, taking risks to win.”
