Italian Journalist Deems VAR Intervention In Inter Milan 2-2 Lazio Serie A Draw 'Embarrassing'
Italian journalist Maurizio Pistocchi took stock of a controversial VAR call in last weekend's 2-2 draw between Inter Milan and Lazio. Pistocchi took to Twitter via FCInter1908 to deliver his assessment of the decision to award the Biancocelesti a dubious penalty. Advertisement Marco Baroni's side held Inter winless in an ill-tempered affair on Sunday night. Indeed, Lazio fought back twice to deny the Nerazzurri perhaps one last chance to overtake Napoli at the top of Serie A. However, referee Daniele Chiffi played a huge part in Lazio's late comeback. First, he neglected Boulaye Dia's offside position in the build-up to Pedro's 72nd-minute equalizer. Then, he handed the visiting team a questionable penalty in second-half stoppages. At first, he refused to penalize Yann Bisseck's handball inside the box. But, after consulting with VAR, he changed his decision. Pedro made no mistake from the spot to make it 2-2. Maurizio Pistocchi Offers His Verdict on Controversial VAR Decisions in Inter Milan vs Lazio Serie A Draw FLORENCE, ITALY – NOVEMBER 5: referee Daniele Chiffi looks on during the Serie A TIM match between ACF Fiorentina and Juventus at Stadio Artemio Franchi on November 5, 2023 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) Chiffi's calls have steered plenty of controversy, prompting furious reactions from the Nerazzurri camp. Advertisement Indeed, Simone Inzaghi couldn't hold his nerve and earned a red card toward the end of the game. Now, Pistocchi deemed Chiffi's decisions 'embarrassing.' Furthermore, he accused VAR of showing the main referee 'wrong' footage. 'Embarrassing,' he wrote. 'That's how the handling of the footage for the incident that decided Inter-Lazio by VAR official Di Paolo can be described.' As a result of Chiffi's poor game handling, Inter will take on Como without Inzaghi. Unfortunately, the 49-year-old manager must serve a touchline ban for his late-game tantrum. However, the club chiefs have backed their manager despite his outburst, as controversy became intolerable. Unfavorable calls have significantly derailed Inter's title chances this season, leaving everyone at San Siro fuming. Yet, anything could happen on the final day.

Di Canio Blasts Penalty Decision In Inter Milan 2-2 Lazio Serie A Thriller: ‘It's A Foul 10/10 Times In Midfield' – Adds ‘Lazio Penalty Is Stonewall'
Di Canio Blasts Penalty Decision In Inter Milan 2-2 Lazio Serie A Thriller: 'It's A Foul 10/10 Times In Midfield' – Adds 'Lazio Penalty Is Stonewall' Paolo Di Canio feels that a Nicolo Rovella shove on Yann Bisseck in Inter Milan's 2-2 Serie A draw with Lazio should've been a penalty. The former striker gave his thoughts on Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908. He argued that it was a foul 'ten times out of ten' in midfield, and also said that the Lazio penalty was 'stonewall.' Advertisement Inter Milan's Serie A clash with Lazio this evening was filled with drama. And among this was plenty of refereeing controversy. Both of Lazio's goals came after a VAR check. The first was initially disallowed for an offside in the buildup before the video showed that it was in fact offside. Meanwhile, Inter conceded a penalty very late on for a Yann Bisseck handball. However, referee Daniele Chiffi did not spot the infringement in real time, needing a second luck after consulting with VAR. Di Canio: 'Rovella Shove On Bisseck A Penalty 10/10 Times' In Inter 2-2 Lazio LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 31: Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio looks on during the Barclays Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Sunderland at Selhurst Park on August 31, 2013 in London, England. (Photo by) Meanwhile, there were a couple big moments inside the Lazio penalty area. Advertisement Firstly, there was a moment in the first half when Biancocelesti midfielder Nicolo Rovella looked to have shoved over Inter defender Yann Bisseck as he was charging into the area. Bisseck furiously appealed for a penalty. However, referee Chiffi waved the appeals away. And VAR did not intervene. Meanwhile, Inter also briefly thought that they'd scored the most dramatic of late winners. However, a VAR check confirmed that Marko Arnautovic was in an offside position. Of the first half incident, former striker Paolo Di Canio commented that 'Rovella's push on Bisseck in midfield is a free kick.' 'So why is it not a penalty when it's in the area? I ask myself.' Advertisement 'If it's a foul, it's a foul,' Di Canio argued. 'In midfield, ten referees out of ten would give that as a foul.' Then, Paolo Di Canio argued that 'the penalty for Lazio is stonewall, as clear as it gets.' 'He makes himself bigger with his arm,' the former striker argued. 'It's Bisseck's attitude that's wrong. You have to know how to act in terms of defensive tactics, that arm can't be there. Why does Bisseck make that jump?'

Inter Milan Legend Defends Simone Inzaghi Amid Criticism: 'What More Do You Want From Him'
Inter Milan Legend Defends Simone Inzaghi Amid Criticism: 'What More Do You Want From Him' Inter Milan Legend Defends Simone Inzaghi Amid Criticism: 'What More Do You Want From Him' Former Inter Milan defender Beppe Bergomi stood up for Simone Inzaghi amid recent criticism of the Scudetto-winning manager. Speaking to Tuttosport via FCInter1908, Bergomi reminded Inzaghi's critics of his stellar work at Giuseppe Meazza. Advertisement Inter's Scudetto pursuit took a hit last weekend as Parma held the Nerazzurri to a 2-2 draw at Ennio Tardini. Indeed, the Crusaders hauled back a two-goal deficit to end Inter's three-game winning league streak. Elsewhere, Napoli failed to pounce on Nerazzurri's slump, drawing 1-1 at Bologna last night. Therefore, Antonio Conte's charges still lag three points behind the reigning champions. Meanwhile, Inter will meet Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie tonight. Despite missing several first-team stars, the Italian powerhouse must get a result in Germany to keep their European dream alive. Advertisement With Simone Inzaghi bidding to win a treble, there's little margin for error. Beppe Bergomi Defends Inter Milan Boss Simone Inzaghi Amid Growing Criticism MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Simone Inzaghi, Head Coach of FC Internazionale, stands in front of a FC Internazionale badge prior to the Coppa Italia Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) 'For any big European club, that's the right approach,' he said. 'And Inzaghi has never done it differently, even when he was at Lazio. He takes this route even at the risk of not winning anything.' Bergomi insists enviable rivals wait for Inzaghi to fail but admits it should change nothing regarding his status at the San Siro. 'Everyone is waiting for that to happen, let's be honest,' he continued. 'But in my opinion, it wouldn't change anything because Inter are still in all three competitions in April, with a squad that's getting older and has suffered more injuries than ever this season. Advertisement 'What more can you ask of Inzaghi? 'He's made the team play well for four years now, with 70,000 fans at San Siro every match because people are proud to be there. 'Not winning? Well, sport is like life – it's about giving your best shot. If you succeed, great. If not, you still did well.' 'Inter, unfortunately or fortunately, plays every game with the next one in mind,' Bergomi stated. 'And that was evident in Parma too. 'Inzaghi always has to field players suited to the current match, but also with an eye on saving others for the next. 'That leads Inter to play in a controlled manner, which isn't ideal because they need to keep the tempo high. Advertisement 'The problem is that when they do, it only lasts 45 minutes before they're forced to manage the game. 'Still, I'm convinced we'll see a different Inter in Munich compared to recent outings. 'That said, if Inzaghi wants to trouble Bayern, his team needs to be able to keep possession in their own half. 'It will be the real tactical battle tomorrow night.' Beppe Bergomi Previews Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan Clash Bergomi admitted Inter may struggle without Denzel Dumfries, who remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. 'First of all, Inter must be in good physical condition to compete with them, otherwise it'll be tough. Advertisement 'Bayern are missing key players, which is significant for a team that plays attacking, high-risk football. 'However, for Inter this season, no one has been as decisive as Dumfries in terms of physicality, goals, assists, and headers. 'Inter don't really have counter-attacking players, and when they break forward, they need someone to rely on. 'And that was exactly his role. 'A lot will also depend on Lautaro's condition, as he only returned from injury in the Parma match.' Meanwhile, he believes a draw would be a decent result for the Nerazzurri, given the circumstances. 'A draw. Otherwise, it becomes difficult because Inter like to control the game,' Bergomi added. Advertisement 'But they struggle on the counterattack as they have trouble defending in open space. 'A draw would allow them to keep control of the tie without exposing themselves to the opponent's counterattacks. 'That would be ideal. 'If Inter go through, a strong run in the Champions League would also give them the energy to push for the Scudetto.'
