Pozzo: "Lucca? I'm downsizing the case. Things happen, the matter must be closed"

The owner Pozzo spoke (for the first and last time) about the Lorenzo Lucca case and the penalty against Lecce: his statements

Udinese's Patron, Giampaolo Pozzo has decided to take to the field in person and definitively put an end to all the rumours surrounding centre-forward Lorenzo Lucca after his theatrical penalty kick against Lecce and subsequent substitution. His full statements on the programme "La Repubblica del Pallone" on Radio Rai GR Parlamento.

"I would like to put the Lucca case into perspective: I confirm that there are team regulations, but when you play there can be extenuating circumstances , such as strong tension while playing". He then continued: "He plays with great passion and wanted to take the penalty even if he was not the penalty taker. He was punished and the matter must be closed . These are things that can happen, especially in an important match and at the highest levels". Finally, a comment also arrived on the ambitions of the club with Kosta Runjaic: "I want to clarify that we are not here just to build capital gains like Lucca can be. Our goal, or rather mine, is to be able to see Udinese in Europe again ". Quickly changing the subject, here is the latest on the market.
