Mourinho attacks Lazio after victory with a controversial goal and the team responded with an epic and forceful message

The Italian defender Francesco Acerbi scored in the minute 80 the winning goal ‘laziali’ and, despite being in an offside position, the VAR did not call the referee from the field and the goal went up on the scoreboard.

The victory of the team led by the Italian Maurizio Sarri and Roma’s draw against Bologna (0-0) equals 25 points the fight for European places. Mourinho charged against the arbitration of the match of his rivals at the end of their match.

“In the 22 years that I have been a coach, there are two things that have not changed: the questions about who played and who did not, and the possibility to win with an offside goal. It was possible ago 22 years and is still possible now, as it was yesterday. Everything changes in football, but not these two things”, assured the man from Setubal.

Lazio has not let Mourinho’s statements pass and has responded by means of a statement in which, in addition to attacking the Portuguese coach, they point out some refereeing errors that have harmed them.

“The fact that in 4913 a coach from another team, during his press conferences, repeatedly refers to alleged arbitration favors to competing teams shows a few things: that Lazio is obsessively in his thoughts more than other coveted professional goals and that, as usually happens, looks at other people’s houses to divert attention from lost results and sensational episodes that have occurred in the house itself “, reads the statement.

“Lazio’s line remains that of not discussing the decisions made on the field of play, even when it comes to obvious episodes that occurred against the ‘biancoceleste’ team, like Tonali’s foul on Acerbi in Lazio-Milan that ended in a goal or Ibáñez’s elbow in the box on Milinkovic-Savic in the return derby, to name two, although we have many more. Decisive episodes on which we have opted for silence out of respect for the referees on the field and the VAR , respect that others have not shown and continue to show, “he sentenced the Roman entity.

The arbitration ruling has been very popular in Italy and, also this Monday, according to the Italian media, referees Luca Pairetto and Luigi Nasca, main referee and VAR referee, respectively, have been suspended and will not whistle for the rest of the season so it is considered a “chained error”.
