Inter legend Sandro Mazzola has slammed referee Daniele Orsato’s performance in Saturday’s Derby D’Italia but insisted that Orsato’s actions did not affect the way that the game ended.
“Orsato was wrong,” Mazzola explained to Tuttosport. “Vecino’s sending off was right, but of course there was Miralem Pjanic [who should have got sent off]. Orsato made some serious mistakes, but if you are winning with five minutes to go you have to take it home. Inter had the game in his hand and threw it away. The mistakes made in the last few minutes were not by Orsato but by Luciano Spalletti.”
Mazzola, who spent his entire career with Inter, then discussed Italian football needing the two Milan clubs back at their best.
“I think there are people [at both clubs] with serious intentions and concrete projects in mind. I think the city and the fans are responding to them and on Saturday night I was at San Siro and it impressed me.”
