According to the reports, “nobody accepted with calmness such a strange decision: first no, then yes.”

The problem, they noted, was psychological.

“The team stayed stuck in that moment,” losing focus as Napoli took control after the break.

“I believe in the centrality of the referee, and he cannot be influenced like that in such a decision.”

Inter have now gone into media silence, focusing on a reset ahead of Fiorentina’s visit to San Siro.
