Cobolli Gigli: “This is unacceptable”
Giovanni Cobolli Gigli had some very harsh words speaking to the Sky TV reporter about the outcome of the match at the San Paolo. Juventus' Chairman couldn't accept the two non-existent penalties awarded by referee Bergonzi that basically decided the match.
These were his words after the match: “We don't believe they have it in for us, or that someone is trying to damage us, but what happened tonight is absolutely unacceptable. Even Napoli supporters who were near me on the stands realized those penalties shouldn’t have been given. I ask myself how the referee wasn't able to see this, and why his assistants didn't help him out in his decisions. At Cagliari, for example, the linesman had done a great job convincing the referee to change his mind.
We want to be judged only by what happens on the pitch. We were relegated to Serie B and now we're back, we paid our dues; we can't be treated like this. No-one's ever going to give us back these two points. I hope someone in high places noticed what happened here because referees that do our matches need to be more cool-headed and impartial”.
