I think these rules are different in every country, basically, in Italy they send off for this kind of foul.
I think our keeper went genuinely
for the ball, he touched Robben, who made certainly more of it, and I
told him.
Unfortunately it changed the game completely and didn't just
change the game but killed the game.
The game was, until then, top quality, and in the second half it was boring for neutral people. It was one-way traffic. The referee made the decision that killed the game.
Wojciech misjudged the situation, there was no clear desire to make a
foul, he misjudged the ball.
After that we lost Gibbs and we lose a
goalkeeper and we had to make two changes and went down to 10 men with
no opportunity to make a change at all after that, because you never
know if a third player could get injured.
You sit there and you cannot
change anything, you cannot bring anybody on, you run after the ball and
they can bring on fresh players. It killed the game completely.
It was a great football game until half-time and it was no game at all
after half-time.
And on a European night that's really frustrating
because the game delivered what it promised at the start, but it was not
the same game in the second half.
We just had to try and keep it at 0-0
and try and get a chance on a set-piece or a counter-attack.
