Sarri Denounces Serie A Officiating After Inter Defeat, Calls to ‘Rent’ Foreign Referees

He argued a non-booking on Mattia Zaccagni typifies declining standards.

Overview

  • Inter beat Lazio 2-0 at San Siro with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Bonny.
  • After the match, Maurizio Sarri said Italian referees are not up to standard and proposed bringing in officials from abroad.
  • He cited a first-half foul by Lautaro on Mattia Zaccagni that he believed warranted a yellow card and left Lazio exposed when Zaccagni had to leave the field.
  • Sarri maintained that the referee did not determine the outcome and acknowledged Inter were the better side.
  • Some reporting noted there were no major officiating errors and that a disallowed Inter goal was ruled in Lazio’s favor.
