Inter President Confronts Referees in Dressing Room Over Decisions

The president of Inter Milan confronted the refereeing team in the San Siro dressing room on Saturday to express his strong dissatisfaction with recent officiating decisions in matches involving the Serie A leaders. The official conveyed the club's concerns about what they perceive as unconscious bias from referees against the team, which has raised widespread alarm among the management regarding the integrity of the officiating process in recent fixtures.

The confrontation included discussions about specific technical incidents involving referee Manganiello and VAR official Gariglio, particularly a penalty not awarded to player Frattesi after a challenge from Scalvini. Television replays reportedly showed a "classic penalty" that should have prompted VAR intervention and a penalty call. The discussions also touched upon previous repercussions related to the well-known Bastoni incident in a match against Juventus, which further intensified the Lombardy club's frustration.

In the wake of these events, Inter Milan's management decided to impose a comprehensive media blackout on all club members, fearing the loss of their comfortable lead at the top of the league table ahead of the upcoming derby match. These actions are expected to continue through official institutional channels in the coming days to address the concerns raised by the president in the dressing room.
