Conte: Inter Milan let Marotta speak out every chance he got, which weakened the coach's authority
6686 Sports October 26th In this morning’s Serie A focus match, the Naples home team defeated Inter Milan 3-1. During the game, Naples received a controversial goal of 12 yards. At that time, the referee did not whistle the penalty, but changed the penalty to 12 yards after being reminded by the assistant referee. Inter Milan president Marotta was dissatisfied with this, and Conte also responded to Marotta's remarks.
Marotta said after the game that the referee was in the best observation position at the time and should not be influenced by the assistant referee to change the decision to 12 yards. Moreover, the video referee should also actively intervene in the review instead of letting the assistant referee lead the decision-making process. He believes that this ruling was obviously interfered with by the outside world and directly determined the direction of the competition.
In response, Conte said: "The difference between Naples and Inter Milan is that they will let Marotta speak out whenever they have the opportunity, and Naples is where I personally stand up and respond. In my opinion, a top team should conduct an objective and fair evaluation to clarify the reasons for its defeat, rather than creating excuses for the players and the team in this way. I think this approach is completely harmful and unhelpful."
"As a coach, I will never allow the management of my team to Just like now that Marotta has even been promoted to president, the response of this management person is really a big deal. With all due respect to a president, he should leave these matters to those involved in the competition and not interfere. Because in this case, his behavior will weaken the authority of the coach, which is inappropriate. I have never asked my president to defend me like a parent. I have always fought for my own rights at the official level... But it’s okay, it’s not a big deal.”
