Lazio: ‘Referees against us’

By Football Italia staff

Lazio’s spokesman claims yesterday’s Fiorentina game proves there’s “malice or prejudice against us” on the part of Serie A’s referees.

The Biancocelesti have complained about officiating on a number of occasions this season, and despite their 4-3 win in Florence last night it appears the storm has not died down.

“The well-deserved victory by Lazio in Florence cannot cancel out the scandal that we witnessed in the game at the Artemio Franchi,” Arturo Diaconale fumed on Radio Incontro Olympia.

“Even yesterday evening there were numerous refereeing incidents which were unfavourable to Lazio, between the referees choices and the VAR.

“It seems to confirm that there is some malice or prejudice against us on the part of the Italian whistlers who we come up against.”
