Venezia, bitter irony from Stroppa: "We thought the match kicked off at 4pm"

Serie A

Venezia

Fiorentina

<p><span>The Lagunari boss went on, as reported by </span><i><em>Sportmediaset</em></i><span>: "Then there was a real team on the pitch who managed to win some duels and we won the players’ quality. In my opinion there was a penalty on Adams when it was 2-1; and at 2-2 Hainaut goes one-on-one with the goalkeeper and shoots wide. We conceded the 3-2 like fools and we leave with a negative result, which is disappointing. It hurts me because coming back into the match like that and losing it annoys me".</span></p>
