October 26, the focus of this round of Serie A, Inter Milan lost 1-3 to Naples, stopping their 7-game winning streak. After the game, Inter Milan president Marotta accepted an interview with DAZN and talked about penalty kicks and the dispute between Lautaro and Conte.

Comment on this defeat

"I was interviewed because I wanted to contribute to the entire system, because I really couldn't understand the penalty. Putting aside the fact that Napoli deserved to win, they really proved it in the last half hour. The penalty came from the assistant referee's judgment. Sometimes VAR intervened during the game, and sometimes the assistant referee overturned the original decision. The referee was in an excellent position. But this time the referee did not call the penalty kick. His position was impeccable. This situation should have been handled by VAR, and from that moment on, the direction of the game became subtle. They went all out to pay tribute to the winner. "

Did the penalty incident affect the entire game?

"Naples' victory mainly stems from this turning point. I only evaluate what happened on the field. Rocchi has also said many times, don't worry about these penalty kicks. But we hope to clarify the rules once and for all. I support the authority of the referee, but if the assistant referee intervenes, The referee shouldn't be influenced so easily. That penalty made people angry and disappointed, and it did have an impact. Although Napoli could still win, I focused on the timing of the penalty."

Is there any unresolved conflict between Lautaro and Conte?

"No, absolutely not. Those are just minor incidents on the field. I don't think there is any need to go into details. Such scenes are very common."
