Thus the Nerazzurri president on the episode of the penalty after the contact between Mkhitaryan and Di Lorenzo: “Rocchi has always said ‘no more penalties’, we need more uniformity”
“The penalty in the first half directed the match.” Beppe Marotta, president of Inter, spoke thus about the penalty awarded to the Azzurri in the first half after the contact between Di Lorenzo and Mkhitaryan. A clear comment. A strong stance taken by the company. “This is a contribution that I want to make to the system: the penalty was decisive and was reported by the assistant, I believe that this dynamic would have required the intervention of the VAR.”

“Napoli legitimized the victory in the last half hour – continued Marotta – but our team gave their all. The success arose above all from this episode. When Rocchi says ‘no more penalties’ then we need to understand what the penalties are. I want to make a contribution, let’s clarify. I am for the centrality of the referee, but if an assistant takes over who has a much more reductive perspective than the other then what should we say? That penalty created anger and bitterness, I am referring to the chronology of the race. And the decision made by the referee.” No comment, however, on the quarrel between Lautaro and Conte: “I would honestly ignore it…”.
