We Reject Mourinho’s Criticisms And Insinuations – Lazio

Italian football club, Lazio has come out to blast Roma coach, Jose Mourinho for saying the club won their clash with an offside goal. The club recently had its say via a press statement, and fans have been reacting.

According to Lazio, Mourinho does nothing but repeatedly refer to presumed referee favours for competing teams, and it is always an intentional act to deflect from a poor result.

Lazio added that it rejects criticisms and insinuations, and it’ll continue to believe that values ​​are demonstrated on the pitch and not in the television studios.

It read, “The fact that in 2022 a coach of another team, during his press conferences, repeatedly refers to presumed referee favours for competing teams… demonstrates some things.”

“That Lazio is obsessively in their thoughts more than other coveted professional goals; that, as often happens, one looks into other people’s homes to divert attention from missed results and sensational episodes that have occurred in one’s own home.”

“That despite the need to evolve the image of football in Italy, some players are stuck with the constant repetition of the accusations against the referees and the VAR; that these offensive attitudes towards the referee category and the lack of journalistic objectivity are too often overlooked.”

“Lazio rejects the criticisms and insinuations, it continues to believe that values ​​are demonstrated on the pitch and not in the television studios. Lazio will never lend itself to being anyone’s alibi or scapegoat and will assert itself in the appropriate forums.”

“The club’s line continues to be that of not discussing the decisions taken on the pitch, even when it comes to obvious episodes that occurred to the detriment of the Biancoceleste team, such as Tonali’s foul on Acerbi in Lazio v Milan on the occasion of the goal, or the elbow in Ibanez area on Milinkovic in the return derby, just to name two even if we have many others.”

“Decisive episodes on which we have chosen silence out of respect for the referees on the field and the VAR, respect that others have not shown and continue not to demonstrate.”
