They still talk about the controversial defeat of Roma at the reception in Milan (1-2). This Monday, the Italian team’s sporting director, Thiago Pinto, came out with harsh criticism on the official website of the hyalorrossi emblem.
“I do not want to hide the weakness of Roma and the work that we have to do. We are working to improve every day and I am sure it will happen because Mourinho arrived just a few months ago and the process is taking a while. In Italy we have quality players, quality coaches and a European champion team, but nobody understands the criteria of a referee. It is impossible to hide that in these 11 rounds there were situations in which the Roma suffered. Just as we are professionals and take responsibility, it’s time to say enough. Roma, its professionals and supporters deserve respect, ”he said.
As a result, the Portuguese leader listed a series of mistakes that damaged Rome.
“Our captain missed the derby with Lazio. [2-3] because of the double yellow in situations that I saw many times in Serie A, and the criterion was different; in the derby, Zaniolo missed a penalty with a score of 2: 0; In the match against Milan, it is clear that Ibrahimovic missed a penalty, Ibanez touches the ball and VAR himself calls the referee; in the same game, there is contact between Chjaer and Pellegrini, and VAR did not intervene. Finally, in all Serie A matches, the referees followed up the application to allow VAR to stand, in Turin they scored a goal from Abraham for not doing it, ”he said.
