RIYAD – The joke came in the 91st minute, when Mazzarri was already thinking about the list of penalty takers. Lautaro’s goal in added time gives Inter the Italian Super Cup, while Napoli left the pitch disappointed and angry at Simeone’s expulsion which, half an hour from the end, changed the history of the match. At the end of the final against Inter, only president De Laurentiis spoke.

De Laurentiis: “Rocchi is living a nightmare”
The president continues: “The referee? I feel sorry for Rocchi, who is experiencing a sort of nightmare. I don’t feel like being a fan and coming down hard, but the inadequacy of the referees this year speaks for itself. I spoke with Rocchi tonight and who knows what further embarrassment he will feel this evening. We were here to promote our football and put on a show, but if you leave me with ten men there is no show. Furthermore, yellow cards and expulsions will be paid in the championship, a further distortion. The League Unfortunately it doesn’t work, it’s its own enemy. They’ve also changed the regulations, so we pay for all the various expulsions in the championship. So this Super Cup ends up affecting the championship too.”

De Laurentiis: “This Super Cup no longer has any reason to exist”
The president of Napoli speaks to Mediaset: “This evening I saw a Napoli that was growing. Despite the fact that there were ten of them left and the many absences, I saw a good Napoli that gave a rather imprecise Inter a hard time. opposed this Super Cup because the fans deserve to celebrate the national championship and when you play too much you cannot add competitions, especially outside Italy. I believe that from next year, with the increase in matches that UEFA has imposed , this Super Cup should have no reason to exist.”
