Juventus’ captain Leonardo Bonucci made it 2-2 in added time of his team’s thrilling Serie A match with Salernitana on Sunday night, and he thought he’d seen his team win in dramatic fashion, only for him to be ruled offside for allegedly interfering with the Granata goalkeeper Luigi Sepe.OFFICIAL: There was no offside on Bonucci, Candreva keeps everyone on the game.Milik’s goal was disallowed unfairly. 📸 @SandroSca pic.twitter.com/mx0zWz6Buw— Juve Canal (@juve_canal) September 11, 2022 The frustration was huge at Allianz Stadium. Arkadiusz Milik, who thought he’d won the game, was shown a second booking and sent off for removing his shirt – and Bonucci was deemed the culprit even though Salernitana’s veteran defender Antonio Candreva appeared to be closer to his goal line.”The officials’ explanation is that an active offside had been detected. Sepe would never have got to the ball, so I don’t see how my disturbed him. And then the position of Candreva at the bottom of the offside must be taken into consideration. I was less than a metre from the line of the shot and Candreva, it is much closer – the cutting of the grass says so. I hope that VAR has taken Candreva into account, but I doubt it – the freeze frame was not complete.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6632815##Speaking to Tuttosport, Juve skipper said that the numerous changes in the squad have resulted in the team not being as consistent as it should be, saying that they conceded two soft goals.”There has been a generational change in the team and it is still difficult to understand the weight of this shirt. We must never allow ourselves not to give 100%, both in the match and in training. I hope that today’s match is a lesson to us. We mustn’t allow ourselves to switch off for 20 minutes in any match and question victory.”Juventus have now drawn four of their opening six Serie A matches, leaving them four points behind Napoli, Atalanta and AC Milan, while they also lost their opening Champions League group game against PSG last week.
