Napoli manager Antonio Conte was furious at the penalty awarded to Inter, claiming VAR only intervenes when “it’s convenient”.
The top-of-the-table derby at the Giuseppe Meazza between Inter Milan and Napoli was without a winner with the Partenopei left alone at the top of Serie A in a thrilling race.
In the 72nd minute, the Nerazzurri won a penalty and had the opportunity to turn the game around, but Tsalhanoglou, who executed from 11 steps, sent the ball onto the post, wasting a huge opportunity.
At the end of the match, Antonio Conte disagreed with the penalty awarded to the home team, blaming VAR for not intervening:
“What does it mean that VAR cannot intervene? He only intervenes when it’s convenient. If there is a mistake, he must intervene. These decisions change games.
This thing really annoys me, as it does with all coaches. The VAR must correct the mistakes of the referees or intervene if something was not visible.
We’re in a situation where we’re starting to think again that there are ulterior motives on everyone’s part. The referee in these cases has to go and see and then confirm the decision.” the Italian coach told DAZN.
