”Football is not ballet,” says Mihajlovic after De Jong tackle

AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has dismissed complaints about a Nigel de Jong tackle during Tuesday’s friendly match against Bayern Munich by saying that “football is not ballet.”

“I didn’t see De Jong’s tackle on Kimmich, but football is not ballet and fouls are part of the match,” Mihajlovic told reporters after the game, according to Italian media.
