Enrico Varriale complains after 3-0 Juventus-Napoli: "False race: scandalous refereeing decision"

Enrico Varriale, journalist-fan of Napoli, lashes out at Maurizio Mariani, the referee of the Turin match that ended 3-0 for Juventus thanks to the goals of David, who scored in the first half, Yildiz and Kostic, who beat Meret in the second half: “To beat Napoli at the lowest terms due to injuries and fatigue of the usual ones forced to play all the time, Juventus needed a scandalous refereeing decision that denied the penalty of the possible draw. Juan Jesus’mistake from which Yildiz”s goal stemmed ended a distorted match”.

At the microphones of ‘Sky Sport‘ Antonio Conte was inevitably asked about the contact between Bremer and Hojlund. “I didn&#8217t see it, however I reminded Mariani who had already refereed us against Verona that when he was called back to Var he changed his decision twice – noted the Napoli coach -. These are situations on the field, we are talking about it too often and it is not a good thing. We only hope that both on the part of those watching and those refereeing there is always honesty”.

From this point of view, Conte suggested that he is almost in the situation of preferring refereeing doubts prior to the Var era. “If there&#8217s an error, it has to be a human error. It used to happen, but at that point you could tolerate it more. Because you knew that it was a person who made a mistake. But when you have the support of video, of a film, you struggle more. So let&#8217s hope that the honesty is there, and that this is clean soccer without any special situations” added the Napoli coach with a particularly serious expression on his face.

Jonathan David&#8217s newfound scoring streak, on the other hand, prompted the ‘DAZN’ studio to point out that Juventus no longer has the need to find a role center forward in the January market. A reconstruction, however, that Spalletti has shown he does not share: “I care little. David inside the penalty area and at the level of finalization is very strong. But he was the one who tore this space for himself, taking it away from the opponents. Then there are the forwards, like Hojlund for Napoli. And a player like that at Juventus we don&#8217t have him”.

Spalletti then explained what he meant: “When you have a player like Hojlund, you throw a ball at him and he makes it playable. At that point the team has to go 100 meters to recompose itself in the penalty area. So David scored and that&#8217s all well and good, but you also need the man who gets the ball on him and fights the opposing center back. Maybe I don&#8217t necessarily need him to score goals, but to do that job I do. And you at ‘DAZN’ you have one in the studio, let him talk and hear what he says” concluded the Juventus coach referring to former Bianconero Alessandro Matri.
