Fiorentina patron Rocco Commisso has claimed ‘people are making a mockery of me, my players and our fans’ after the controversial 2-1 defeat to Roma on Sunday.
The Viola President asked why ‘the same rules and technology can’t be used for everyone’, as Edin Dzeko scored the winner from the penalty spot at the Olimpico yesterday.
Fiorentina patron Rocco Commisso has claimed ‘people are making a mockery of me, my players and our fans’ after the controversial 2-1 defeat to Roma on Sunday.
The Viola President asked why ‘the same rules and technology can’t be used for everyone’, as Edin Dzeko scored the winner from the penalty spot at the Olimpico yesterday.
Coach Beppe Iachini claimed the penalty should have never been given because the ball touched referee Daniele Chiffi in the build-up and is supported by his boss.
“There are rules to the game and if the referee touches the ball and influences play, he has to stop the game and then put the ball back into play again,” Commisso said, according to ViolaChannel.
“I’d like someone to explain to us this latest situation where someone has decided not to apply the rules.
“Once again, like when VAR wasn’t used, we’re unable to fathom what criteria are used and why the same rules and technology can’t be used for everyone.
“Italian football can’t keep on getting itself into situations like this. Something has to be done quickly and we need urgent solutions.
“I don’t want to add anything else, but I can’t keep quiet when I feel people are making a mockery of me, my players and our fans. Everyone saw what happened tonight, so this time I’ll let others comment on it.”
