Daniele De Rossi took the responsibility for Nicolae Stanciu\u2019s last-minute penalty miss at the end of Genoa\u2019s 1-1 Serie A draw away against Milan<\/a> on Thursday night: \u2018I\u2019m sorry for him, he deserved to celebrate, as did the others after the game we played.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a slightly confusing evening for 17th-placed Genoa, who would have been delighted with a point prior to kick-off, but left San Siro feeling empty-handed after a chaotic end to proceedings in San Siro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lorenzo Colombo had given the visitors a first-half lead, which went unanswered until Rafael Leao\u2019s 92nd minute equaliser from a corner. Genoa had an opportunity to snatch all three points with virtually the final kick of the game, but Stanciu blazed his spot-kick over the crossbar, which kept the scores level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a fair draw,\u201d De Rossi declared during his post-match interview<\/a> with DAZN.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (Milan) didn\u2019t deserve to lose in the second half, but we deserved to win. We had a great first half against a very strong team, but there\u2019s a lot of bitterness when a game ends like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Rossi was asked why second-half substitute Stanciu was chosen to take the penalty in the final minute of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the game, we had two penalty takers: Malinovskyi and Martin, but I brought them both off,\u201d De Rossi explained. \u201cIt was my choice (to let Stanciu take it) because I\u2019ve seen how he takes them in training and has an incredible shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the other players that were on the pitch, I thought it was a reasonable choice. I\u2019m sorry for him because he\u2019s a great guy, who never lowers his professionalism, even if he isn\u2019t playing. He deserved to celebrate, as did the others given the game we played.\u201d<\/p>\n
