Marotta: The ruling is obviously interfered with by the outside world, and we demand clear rules
6686 Sports News on October 26 After the Inter Milan away team lost 1 to 3 to Naples, the club president Marotta continued to speak out and expressed strong dissatisfaction with a key decision in the game.
Marotta pointed his finger at the twelve yards that changed the game in the first half - the referee on duty ruled that Mariani initially did not rule the physical contact between Di Lorenzo and Mkhitaryan, but on the advice of the assistant referee, the penalty was changed to twelve yards, and De Bruyne took the penalty. In this regard, Marotta said resolutely: "These twelve codes directly determine the direction of the competition."
He further elaborated: "I stood up today because I hope to contribute some thinking to the entire referee system. At that time, the main referee was in the best observation position, and no one could see it more clearly than him. In this case, the video referee should have actively intervened in the review, rather than the assistant referee influencing the main referee's judgment. There were obvious problems in the final decision-making process. This This ruling really made us feel painful and angry, and it was obviously interfered with by the outside world."
Although it was acknowledged that Naples relied on its strength to consolidate the victory at the end of the game, and Inter Milan players also tried their best, Marotta still emphasized: "It is undeniable that Naples' victory was largely due to the appropriateness of their victory. The starting point of the elimination was based on an unclear decision."
He cited the philosophy of former referee committee chairman Rocky "Don't call a small move twelve yards" and called for referee standards to be unified and transparent: "We support the authority of the referee, but if the assistant referee's perspective is limited, is it appropriate to easily overturn the referee's original decision? The ruling makes us angry and unwilling. We must reflect on it and clarify the ruling as soon as possible."
In addition, Marotta chose to play down the fierce argument between captain Lautaro and coach Conte: "To be honest, I will not comment much. The two have communicated clearly after the game."
