After tonights 1-1 draw against Chievo at home at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza a very annoyed Ricky Alvarez was interviewed by Sky immediately after the final whistle.
“Today we tried to win by controlling the match. Immeditely after we conceded we picked up our heads, it’s a shame. But I have to say: give us what we’re entitled to, at least give us this! We don’t want anything, only what is right. We make our mistakes and we know this, but the referee’s also don’t help. And they make a lot of mistakes which hurt us. Champions League? There’s a long way to go and we have to believe in it.”
A shot moment later he was interviewed by Mediaset Premium where he continued to criticize the referee.
“We tried to win the match tonight from the very first minute, it’s a shame we weren’t able to. We have to continue, the league is long, we haven’t played the match that changes everything, the match which works as the turning point for us and makes us believe in ourselves.”
“Chievo shut down the spaces well, we had some chances. Then we scored a legitimate goal which was disallowed, we would have won the match 2-1 if the goal had stood. We’re getting very tired of these refereeing mistakes, we haven’t said anything before but now it’s all out there for everyone to see. We score a perfectly fine goal and they disallow it.”

I am all for criticizing referees when the decisions are bad for things that rightfully should be awarded to our team, but we have to be real here – if we are a team that wants to qualify for the Champions League, we aren’t entitled to these comments.
A team with that kind of aspirations doesn’t allow a game like this to depend on that single controversial moment, especially after a series of bad results! This should have been out of reach for Chievo by half time. Pick yourselves up and win a bloody game, damn it!
Too bad for Mazzarri just same with the decision making of the referee. This is INTER not napoli ! We have a glory, the history and huge fanatic fans “brother of the world”. But, now is going to be fallen cz the coach doesn’t have quick sense to change the tactic and mentality how to play as LA GRANDE INTER. Already miss the persons who’s can interrupt the coach tactic as like Massimo Moratti in the past. Get well soon Inter !
This is the Inter way of life Ricky…..
Doesn’t mean we need to accept bullshit :).
