Man, VAR has created far more problems than it has solved. It has made the game even more subjective than before, since the referee decides which calls to delegate to VAR.
The ref should have no say in this. The technology should only be used in a way that the VAR can challenge a decision of the ref on the pitch after he reviews a replay of the incident, and that only for PK, reds, offside goals or other questionable goals. It should never be used for situations that happened in the build up to a goal, like the Licht one today

Napoli faces Roma and Inter after the NT break. And Man City sandwiched between those two serie a fixtures. Will show how big of challengers they are this season.

Callejon: 'Napoli believe in Scudetto’
By Football Italia staff


Napoli forward Jose Callejon says “we believe” in the Scudetto, but “we have to play like this until the end”.

The Partenopei have won all seven of their opening Serie A games, leaving them two points clear of Inter and champions Juventus.

“We believe,” Callejon told Sky when asked about the Scudetto.

“We hope this can be the right year but there’s still a long way to go. We have to play like this until the end, working well and giving 100 per cent in every game.

“We believe though, we know we’re a strong team. Everyone is in excellent form, from Pepe Reina right down to the last player on the bench.

“Maurizio Sarri’s flaws? Everyone has some, but we have a huge amount of respect for him and he has us playing really well.”

I actually think they'll get 4 points off City (those over-rated EPL turds), and drop points against both Roma and Inter. I see them drawing 3 and winning one.
Nah, they are focusing on the Scudetto, and will sacrifice the CL, as always, which is a shame because I can see them causing a lot of trouble for City if they take the CL seriously.

China to recall Milan money?
By Football Italia staff


It’s claimed the Chinese government could force Milan’s investors to return around €200m to the country.

Investor Yonghong Li took over the Rossoneri earlier this year, with a loan from U.S. hedge fund Elliott Management to complete the deal.

Part of the reason for that was the difficulty in moving funds out of China, with the government recently cracking down on foreign investment.

The Communist Party will hold its congress on October 18, where it’s expected that new restrictions on foreign investment will be announced.

According to Libero, this is unlikely to affect Inter and their owners Suning Group, but it could complicate things for the Diavolo.

Around €200m, which was invested by the funds Huarong and Haixia, could have to be brought back into China, the newspaper reports.

Li is looking for new investors to share the financial burden, but Milan need to pay back Elliott’s €253m by next October, with €180m of that carrying an interest rate of 11.5 per cent.

If that momey isn't repaid, all or part of the club will transfer to the hedge fund.
