Today’s League Assembly turned into a long wave of cloying controversies over Inter’s goal at the end of the match against Verona
Today’s League Assembly turned into a long wave of cloying controversies over Inter’s goal at the end of the match against Verona. Beppe Marotta, Nerazzurri CEO, responded to journalists’ questions on the topic, underlining the numbers of Simone Inzaghi’s team, which do not allow replies or insinuations:
“First of all, I’m here to take a point at the end of the first round. We must recognize Inter’s merits of being deservedly first thanks to a work culture applied in an intense way, to a great sense of belonging on everyone’s part, to the solidity of the club and an indisputable heritage which is represented by our fans. This must be recognized by us: the statistics sometimes objectively represent the facts and the statistics say that we are first with 48 points, 15 victories, only 1 defeat, best attack, best defense and best goal difference. We are therefore firmly at the top of the table.”
“Controversies and criticisms must affect the entire world of Italian football, we must know how to manage and accept them. The introduction of VAR has been invoked and evoked by everyone and we must underline how it was not adopted to definitively eradicate referees’ errors but to reduce them, and I believe that this objective has been achieved. If subjectivity exists, there is also the error of a human being, the referee, but I won’t go into that. However, I am certain that at the end of the championship the best team will win the championship”.
“Zizzaroni’s words? I don’t want to get into controversy and these specious considerations. I’m just saying that in my experience I have learned to manage situations. But this is far from thinking that a club, in this case Inter, could have favoritism We’ll send this back to the sender. I honestly haven’t understood such a sentiment from the critics. I remain with the fact that a team. I want to point out Inter’s merits on the pitch. Then, I believe that the controversies should extend to other matches, not just ours. It happens.”
