The CEO of Inter, Giuseppe Marotta, spoke at the headquarters of the Serie A League, on the sidelines of the League Assembly, following the referee controversies that characterized Inter-Hellas Verona. The Nerazzurri CEO responded to the controversies about the VAR: «The controversies, or rather the criticisms, must involve the entire Italian movement. They must be managed and accepted. The introduction of VAR was invoked by everyone and it is not a tool to definitively eliminate referee errors, but to reduce them and from this point of view there has been an improvement. If subjectivity exists, then error also exists. It seems to me that there were also other referee errors on other fields yesterday. I am sure that at the end of the season it will be the best team that will win the championship».

Marotta then commented on the statement 'Inter has a very good director': «I don't want to make controversies about these misleading statements. Far from thinking that Inter is influenced by favoritism, I send these statements back to the sender. We are a strong club with important solidity».
«I am here to take stock, having concluded the first half of the season it was right to take stock. We must recognize the merits of Inter in being deservedly first. This is the result of an impeccable work culture and a great sense of belonging on the part of the coach and players. But also of a strong corporate solidity and an indisputable heritage, that of our fans. Being winter champions, however, is like a Pyrrhic victory. Now it doesn't matter, it will matter in May. I have been in football for more than 40 years, before there was no VAR but only the referee's eye, now there is but the controversies continue. To use a metaphor right now we are the hare that must dodge the shots of the hunters».
In conclusion, the CEO of Inter also commented on the abolition of the Growth Decree: «It could have been used with different criteria but it is certainly a defeat for the world of football. The competitiveness of our football will decrease. The show offered by the teams is a technical heritage and a source of income that should be valued. The fact that youth sectors are being affected is a false problem».
