Donadel explains harsh red Thursday 27 September, 2007

Fiorentina midfielder Marco Donadel has given his view on his dismissal against Roma last night for two bookable offences.

The Viola drew 2-2 with the capital club, but faced a nervy finish to the game after Donadel’s 85th minute sending off.

“The first was a fair yellow as it was a foul, but for the second I didn’t make contact. I guess it was difficult to see and these things happen in lively games,” the Treviso native admitted.

“With 11 men we could have tried to win it as we have been strong away from home this year as well as at home, but it was a good game and we couldn’t have done more.

“Roma played well and I can’t really say whether we lost two points or gained one. We went there with an attacking mentality and we could either have won or lost.”

The next test for the Gigliati is a Tuscan derby against Livorno at the Amaranto’s Stadio Armando Picchi.
