Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini claims Napoli benefited from refereeing decisions and media bias too.
The Partenopei are furious at the four-match ban imposed on Gonzalo Higuain for his furious reaction to a red card in the 3-1 defeat to Udinese.

“People should keep an eye on how he behaves in general and is always fouled repeatedly. That should be taken into account as well when passing judgment.
