Sammarco questions red card decision after Verona defeat to Roma

Source: Forza Roma

Verona manager Paolo Sammarco disputed the dismissal of one of his players following the club's loss to Roma, saying the first yellow card was rushed and not even a foul, with the subsequent red card too hasty. Sammarco also highlighted frustration with VAR decisions, noting similar issues had occurred in a previous match against Como.

Verona were relegated this season. Sammarco acknowledged the club's demotion was due to collecting too few points and a lack of consistency during decisive moments, citing the match against Genoa as a particular source of regret. He stated: "The experience has been formative, I believe I can compete in Serie A. I hope we have opportunities: I am open to everything. Verona were relegated for the few points we made and in the decisive moments we did not have continuity. The Genoa match is the biggest regret, we could have done better."

Asked about his future and squad decisions, Sammarco said he felt supported by the group throughout. "They always worked, in every training session they never held back, otherwise we wouldn't have turned in such important performances against big teams," he added. He confirmed he had not been asked to make changes to the squad composition and had evaluated matches and training sessions when making his selections.

Roma are set to face Sassuolo, with Rodrigo Mora expected to start from the first minute and Leonardo Balerdi included in the match-day selection, according to the probable line-ups published ahead of the fixture.

The lineup report also touches on the wider context around the squad. Koné has been left out of the France squad by Zidane, and Roma's attack has been described as record-breaking, with Gasperini now able to surpass a record set by himself.
