Delusion and bitterness: this is how Carlo Ancelotti felt at the end of the 2-2 tie against Atalanta. There was controversy as before Ilicic scored the late equalizer, there were calls for a penalty for Napoli on the other end. The penalty was not given by VAR. Here is what Ancelotti said to Sky Sport after the game: "I don't even want to discuss if it was a penalty or not. The defender had not interest in the striker."
He then continued to explain the motive for his actions that got him expelled: "Giacomelli told me 'help me fix things' and I told him 'but you don't have doubts it is a penalty?' And he threw me out. The team played very well, they deserved a better result. I feel disappointed. I feel attacked, it is an attack on my seriousness. I am very bitter. Milik? He is important to the club, we will renew his contract soon and we believe in him a lot."
