Lazio's President Calls for External Intervention After Controversial Defeat to Milan

«The refereeing controversies after Lazio-Milan? When the game takes on these connotations, other external bodies must intervene. The system lacks reliability, so we must resort to third-party institutions that can put an end to an embarrassing situation». Lazio's president, Claudio Lotito, takes a firm stance after the match with Milan and the bitter aftermath. «In sports, one must win on merit. There is a limit beyond which one should not go, and today all limits have been exceeded. The team will assert itself in the appropriate venues, for everything that has happened. This situation has been repeating for some time». Lazio-Milan 0-1, decided by Okafor's goal. Chaos Di Bello: Pellegrini, Marusic, and Guendouzi sent off. Brawl at the final whistle. The Controversy: «Have I spoken with Di Bello? I do not speak with referees, it's not in my nature to maintain any kind of relationship with them», Lotito told Dazn on behalf of his Lazio after the controversies following the defeat to Milan. «I do not go into the merits of the incidents, those who referee should be able to understand what the balance point and the breaking point are. I am a moderate and look for a meeting point, and today there are no conditions to find it», continues the owner. With Sarri, Lotito assures, «there is no conflict, but rather dialectical confrontations aimed at dividing. No one has questioned him. The team has no responsibility in this defeat». Lotito does not expect «any response» from the institutions, but says he knows «which institutions to turn to: we think about the future, and hope that such incidents do not happen again»
