Inzaghi and the controversy over Turpin, Inter Milan’s referee in the Champions League: “The French are like four of them.”

He will turn 41 on Tuesday. Clement Turpin
(read who it is here) He will be celebrating his birthday with 75,000 at the San Siro, eager to see who among them is Inter And Milan Will fly to the final Champions League. Some will have a great night, others will go home less happy. He hopes to maintain the smile with which he will wake up in the morning, and read the many letters of good wishes that will arrive. I wonder if he also watched some clips from the press conference Simon Inzaghi: “I have always preferred not to talk about the referees – the Nerazzurri coach responded to those who asked him for his opinion on the appointment – If you think about the first leg, Krunic’s foul on Bastogne in the area should have been assessed differently. Perhaps the match would have taken another turn if the score had been 3-0, but there is no problem at all.

Inzaghi: Referee Turbine? French like four Milan players »

So far, there is no argument, even if Inzaghi let himself go with a somewhat insinuating phrase: A few friends pointed out to me that the referee chosen for Tuesday’s match is the French referee and that the Milan team has four French players. But even here there is no problem, on our part there is maximum confidence ». Assistants Danos and Bagg, Fourth Officer Frapart, Knight Brisard and Milo: The entire Transalpine team, headed by Turpin, Which in fact did not leave good memories for the Milan fans. He directed the Rossoneri in the second leg of the round of 16 with Tottenham, where he was not convinced in managing cards. He also led them in the last edition of the Champions League, or in the much-discussed 1-1 draw with Porto that was marred by a missed whistle due to Grujic’s foul entry on Bennacer, from which the Portuguese goal originated.

Pioli knows this very well, who introduced himself to the journalists after his colleague. To those who asked him what they thought of the words Inzaghi had just said about the referee The Rossoneri coach replied with a long silence, interrupted only by Tonali, who was sitting next to him: “Next time, a stateless referee must be chosen.”. Then the coach looked briefly: «Honestly, I don’t like to put my hands forward». In short, the derby has already begun, even before kick-off. More than a few eyes, as well as on teams, will focus on Turpin.
