Toon captain Lascelles strongly criticized Italian midfielder Jorginho for his “unacceptable” behavior at the end of the intense match.

He further added, “I’m glad we emerged victorious because players like Jorginho’s conduct is not acceptable. Many of their players walked off without acknowledging us. I approached Jorginho to shake his hand, but he declined. I was angry and disappointed because it’s simply not right.”
Lascelles emphasized that he would never refuse to shake hands with an opposing team’s captain, stating, “I firmly believe in showing respect and sportsmanship, and I would never disrespect the opposition in such a manner.”
