The Biancocelesti president after the defeat against Milan and the three red cards to his players: “We need to resort to third-party institutions to put an end to unpleasant situations like this.”
Claudio Lotito was furious after the game against Milan, lost 1-0 by his Lazio and ending with 8 men after the three red cards shown to Pellegrini, Marusic, and Guendouzi by Di Bello: “There is a lack of reliability in the system and when this happens, we need to resort to third-party institutions to put an end to unpleasant situations like this,” said the white and blue president to Dazn. “We must win on merit. With the referees there is a limit beyond which we should not go, and today all limits have been exceeded.
“I don’t speak with referees, I don’t know who Di Bello is but I saw how he refereed,” Lotito continued. “Someone who is a referee should have the ability to understand what the breaking point is. It is time for the League to have third-party management outside the system, because the system is no longer able to guarantee reliability. Lazio will assert itself in the appropriate venues for what everyone has seen publicly. When a system cannot guarantee reliability, questions should be raised and concrete answers should be given, not just words. This has been happening for some time.”
Then, the conversation also touched on the game, the team, and Sarri: “I don’t blame the team for anything; they even had some chances to win despite the expectations of some. Sport is about merit and respect for the rules, which were lacking today. Sarri? There is no contrast with the coach, only dialectical discussions aimed at coming together and never dividing. I evaluate the results, and when they depend on others, action must be taken. No one has questioned him; this was a forced defeat. What did I say to the team? Let’s look ahead and think about the next appointment. They are not responsible for the team. To the fans, I say have faith in the fairness of the club. I understand the bitterness; those who watched the game realized how things went. We must think about the future, hoping that these incidents do not happen again.”
