Milan-Lazio chaos: the biancoceleste club’s post and Sarri’s demands
Ithe Milan-Lazio final continues to cause debate and spark endless discussions. The failure to award a penalty to the biancocelesti after Pavlovic’s elbow touch in the Rossoneri’s penalty area (reviewed under VAR by referee Collu, who had previously spotted a foul by Marusic) continues to cause discussion. Lazio felt defrauded, so much so that, in the post match, a press silence was chosen. The’only official communication came via a post by the biancoceleste club itself in which Lazio’s thoughts on what was seen at San Siro are clear.
“We regret not going to the press room, this evening the images speak for us“, the clear words of the post, complete with video images of the incriminating action. A strong stance that confirms how, in the Lazio household, there is a lot of anger over the decision made by the referee in the final of the match played at San Siro that, in fact, led to the narrow defeat against Allegri’s team (sent off). Lots of comments from Lazio fans, all of them convinced that the mistake was very serious. Some speak of bad faith and some of the inability of referees to handle complicated situations in important stadiums.
Suddenly, the words of Sarri who, after the Inter-Lazio match, had pointed his finger at the referees, highlighting how the general level of Italian match directors was too low, going so far as to call for the inclusion of foreign referees. A tough stance that, at the time, had led Lazio to issue a “soothing” statement. It remains to be seen whether, in light of what happened at San Siro, the position of the biancoceleste club has now changed and is closer to the thinking of its coach. Certainly it will be discussed for a long time to come about Pavlovic’s elbow touch.
