Enrico Varriale and Carlo Alvino lash out at the Napoli-Inter referee

Enrico Varriale won’t go for it. Carlo Alvino isn’t either

At the triple whistle of Napoli-Inter, as expected, the controversy began. Great was the disappointment in the Azzurri’s house for the defeat that had matured in extremis but also for some decisions of the referee of the final of the Italian Super Cup played in Saudi Arabia, in Ryad, Antonio Rapuano.

Among the first to express criticism was Enrico Varriale, a Neapolitan journalist. “The Super Cup goes to’Inter, the strongest team that in the recovery finds the winning goal with Lautaro. But the decisive man was referee Rapuano, who forced the Italian champions into a 10-man deficit for 30 minutes with the scandalous expulsion of Simeone. For Mazzarri, the nightmare of 2012's nightmare is repeated,&#ldquo; he sentenced.

“What a disgrace!!! Avoiding the first yellow to Calhanoglu is distorting the game. The Turk should have been sent off in the 44th” instead Carlo Alvino, another Neapolitan journalist, had complained.
