‘If you go in the last minutes and you whistle like this, I feel it is a significant blunder. If it’s offside or not you can verify it, but if you don’t verify it, how can you see it? The 2nd aim Rudiger is pretty much offside. If he whistles okay, but now you can find a distinction and this is a disgrace.
‘The linesman stated to me I’m sorry, I designed a oversight, I can not get anything at all for that. I am not the type of particular person who desires to blame a reduction or gain on the referee but it suggests you have to get mainly because you get 2-1. I imagine if it is really a rule, it truly is a rule.’
