Today, all day long in Italy, there is talk about the last matches of the 16th round of the Italian "Serie A" championship.
Yesterday, "Lazio" from Rome hosted "Torino" at home. The capital team, which competes successfully this season, was forced to be disappointed - at the end of the first half, they were left to play with ten men, and then the guests from Turin defeated them with a score of 3-1.
"Sport Mediaset" reports that "Lazio" president Claudio Lotito feels deceived by the entire "Serie A" organization. According to him, "Lazio" has fallen into "political traps" and "Serie A" will do everything to prevent them from reaching the TOP 4.
It was during the match that a lot of turmoil was caused by a red card earned by "Lazio" forward Ciro Immobile. After an unsuccessful episode, he clashed heads with an opponent and the match officials, using the VAR system, decided to send the Italian off the field, even though the "headbutt" was not severe enough to warrant a fall.
In addition to this episode, a penalty kick to "Torino" goal was not awarded during one of the matches, when Iago Falque clearly handled the ball in the penalty area.
The "Lazio" club now feels a great disappointment with the "Serie A" organization and is even considering the possibility of withdrawing from the league.
This is not the first time "Lazio" feels punished by match referees. After the recent matches, the team's head coach Simone Inzaghi stated that his team has been unfairly treated for four consecutive weeks, and the author of the only goal, Luis Alberto, felt that a conspiracy theory was being plotted against them.
After 16 rounds of the "Serie A" championship, "Lazio" is in fifth place, trailing the closest opponents by three points. However, like the other three teams, the team from the capital has played one game less.<div style="width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/s/c5acx/mvkhdv" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div>
