Empoli Blame Roma For Relegation
Empoli President Fabrizio Corsi has blamed Roma for their relegation to Serie B, saying that the Giallorossi basically allowed Catania to score the equaliser that saved them.
The Azzurri went into this final round of the season knowing that they could only stay up if they beat Livorno, and both Parma and Catania lost their respective matches against Inter and Roma.
Empoli completed their part of the equation by winning 2-1, and had seemed set for survival with Inter and Roma both winning going into the closing stages.
However when Inter went 2-0 up at Parma, Roma knew that their chances of winning the Scudetto were over, and their heads and concentration levels seemed to drop. With five minutes remaining Jorge Martinez found an equaliser, to keep Catania up, and send Empoli down to Serie B instead.
“Catania’s goal was a farce,” Corsi.
“It went the way everyone expected it to – Catania equalised as soon as Inter sealed up the result in Parma and therefore the title.”
Meanwhile Empoli coach Gigi Cagni leaves the club following relegation, and the veteran is upset at how things ended.
“This is the result on the field and we must accept it,” he conceded.
“We knew we had to hope for other scores to come in and it didn’t happen. It’s a shame to leave Empoli like this.”
