Torino Vs Inter Milan â Nerazzurri President âSurprisedâ By Referee Scandal Allegations: âWe Donât Have Referees We Like & Ones We Donâtâ
Giuseppe Marotta has broken Inter Milanâs silence on the referee scandal, expressing surprise at the allegations while firmly distancing the club from any wrongdoing ahead of Sundayâs crucial trip to Torino.
The Inter president spoke to Sky Sport before kick-off, addressing the investigation into AIA leadership and the allegations that former designator Gianluca Rocchi sought to assign referees favourable to the Nerazzurri.
âWe learn everything from the press,â Marotta said, with quotes via FCInterNews.
âThese declarations surprise us. We do not have referees we like and ones we donât. We know we have always acted with maximum correctness, and that is the most important fact, the one that should reassure everyone.â
He then turned the narrative around, pointing to decisions that went against Inter last season.
âLast year, and I donât say this to complain, we objectively had adverse decisions, including acknowledged ones. I am referring, for example, to the penalty in Inter vs Roma.â
He added: âToday we are here thinking about this match, this championship and this Scudetto. I am calm. We are uninvolved and we will be in the future.â
Giuseppe Marotta stated he was surprised by the allegations and denied any wrongdoing by the club.
The investigation involves claims that former referee designator Gianluca Rocchi attempted to assign referees who would favor Inter Milan.
Despite the allegations, Inter Milan is concentrating on their crucial match against Torino, as stated by Marotta.

On the specific allegation concerning a meeting at San Siro during the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Milan, Marotta was equally firm.
âIt surprised me, I am not saying I donât remember, I find no connection. I learned everything from the press and I have answered exhaustively. I donât want to add anything more.â
Furthermore, when asked whether he expected anyone from the club to be called for questioning, his response was simple. âI have been very clear. I have nothing to add.â
On the season itself, Marotta closed with characteristic generosity toward those on the pitch.
âThe compliments belong to the coach and the squad, the merit is theirs above all. We want to reach this double objective.
âWe are focused on this exam, then we will think about the next opponent and a trophy we want to win for the tenth time. It would be something extraordinary for Inter.â
Speaking shortly afterwards to DAZN, with quotes again via FCInterNews, Marotta said the club are âvery calm and confident in our integrityâ and do not expect to face any repercussions.
Finally, the President closed by expressing that âWinning the Scudetto in front of our fans would be wonderful,â as the Nerazzurri close in on a title that could be won as early as next weekend.
