Ezequiel Lavezzi apologizes after striking Massimiliano Allegri with a ball

"I'm sorry, I did not want to hit Allegri, I was close to the bench and a ball has arrived at my feet and I kicked it off as a gesture of annoyance, not to hit Allegri or someone else. It was an instinctive behavior, dictated by the anger of the moment, because the game was getting out of our hand, after we had commanded it and deserved to win it. I repeat, it was an instinctive gesture of anger, addressed only to myself and the development of the match."
