They think that we are the only team that is playing aggressively and we get a card for everything,” Gilardi told reporters, emotions still raw. “That (winning) goal was clearly not a goal. And on the other side, they say that it was a danger for the attacking team (when a penalty corner was denied to Argentina with two seconds left).
