Serie A Designator Hails Inter Milan Vs Lazio Referee Despite Several Controversial Decisions: 'Positive Performance In A Difficult Contest'
Serie A Designator Hails Inter Milan Vs Lazio Referee Despite Several Controversial Decisions: 'Positive Performance In A Difficult Contest' Gianluca Rocchi praised under-fire referee Daniele Chiffi despite all the controversy surrounding Sunday's draw between Inter Milan and Lazio. Speaking to DAZN via FCInterNews, the Serie A designator hailed the 40-year-old for a 'positive performance' at San Siro. Advertisement Daniele Chiffi made a mess in arguably the most significant game of the season. Indeed, his decisions could directly cost Inter the Scudetto. Lazio held the Nerazzurri to a 2-2 draw last weekend but had a substantial helping hand from Chiffi. For context, Pedri's equalizer came as a result of a dubious VAR call. Despite being flagged offside by the linesman, VAR deemed Boulaye Dia's position inconsequential and awarded Lazio the goal. Though Denzel Dumfries restored Inter's lead, his heroics were in vain as Chiffi landed a knockout punch toward stoppage time. He penalized Yann Bisseck for a questionable handball inside the box, sending Pedro to the spot. Advertisement And the veteran forward had no mercy, drawing Lazio level again, though this time, there was no way back for Inter.

(Photo by) 'Bisseck starts off in a position that conceptually wouldn't be punishable,' Rocchi claimed. 'But then he extends his elbow and instinctively brings his arm to the ball. 'Therefore, he had to give a penalty. I understand it's hard to accept in the final minutes, and Chiffi's positioning wasn't ideal. 'A handball in those moments has to be reviewed carefully.' Meanwhile, Chiffi's decisions didn't sit well with Nicolo Barella, who fiercely protested over a dubious penalty decision. Advertisement 'We're playing for our lives, you're not,' the diminutive midfielder told Chiffi, who replied: 'We are two.' Taking stock of the incident, Rocchi stated: 'That was the right response. 'Even though Barella's protest was strong, it was still respectful. Chiffi had a good match in a difficult setting. 'It was a tough, finely balanced game, and he took the right and proper approach.

Inter Milan Furious With Referees After Controversial 2-2 Serie A Draw Vs Lazio – Rocchi's Words Only Fuel Anger
Inter Milan Furious With Referees After Controversial 2-2 Serie A Draw Vs Lazio – Rocchi's Words Only Fuel Anger Tension is palpable after Lazio held Inter Milan to a controversy-marred 2-2 draw at Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday night. Per Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, frustration within the Nerazzurri camp has reached a boiling point. Advertisement Indeed, his dubious decisions could result in Napoli dethroning Inter in Serie A come Friday. To describe both Lazio's goals as 'questionable' would be generous. However, it wasn't the first time referees had harmed Inter's Scudetto ambitions this season. Inter Milan Furious at Serie A Referees After Another Controversial Game vs Lazio MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 02: Referee Daniele Chiffi reacts with Lautaro Martinez of FC Internazionale during the Serie A match between AC Milan and FC Internazionale at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 02, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) To begin with, Inter lost the Supercoppa Italiana final to AC Milan under controversial circumstances. Furthermore, a series of questionable refereeing decisions have significantly damaged their Scudetto chances. When Inter dropped points at Fiorentina in February, Marco Guida penalized Matteo Darmian for a dubious handball. Advertisement Then, Chiffi failed to sanction Nicolo Rovella for pushing Yann Bisseck with both hands in the game against Lazio. Moreover, the same referee refused to award Inter a penalty in the Milan derby for a clear foul on Marcus Thuram. Finally, there was an incident in a home clash against Bologna, where the Nerazzurri didn't get another spot-kick. Therefore, it's fair to say referees' 50/50 calls have almost never been in Inter's favor this term.
