'5 in 5 years' - Ordine highlights difference between Inter and Milan's card numbers

"I only share one thing about the card, in this championship there have been many mistakes, repeated and that have had many teams as victims, not only Napoli. It's not a question of good or bad faith, I say we need to give this story a football setting. When a team doesn't work, the coach is changed and so at this moment the companies should not bark at the moon but should reason to find a solution to this series of mistakes."

"There is no consistent guideline from the beginning to the end, from hand fouls to penalties things change during the championship and therefore you have to change Rocchi, period and that's it. Since the management didn't work, the results are unsatisfactory and therefore the coach is changed. Rocchi performs a service and if your football company realizes that it doesn't work, you change the service."

"Then there is a fact that I want to underline: in the last 5 years I see Lazio and Milan who have over 20 expulsions while there is Inter who have had 5."

Pierre Kalulu received a controversial second yellow card in Milan's match against Inter for a challenge on Alessandro Bastoni that appeared to lack contact. Bastoni subsequently apologized for exaggerating the challenge, but faced no consequences. Journalist Franco Ordine argues the issue extends beyond this single incident, highlighting repeated refereeing mistakes throughout the championship affecting multiple teams. Ordine emphasizes inconsistent guidelines regarding fouls, penalties, and red cards throughout the season. He points to significant errors against Napoli involving Atalanta and Juventus, contrasting with minimal favorable decisions. Notably, statistical disparities show Lazio and Milan accumulating over 20 expulsions in five years while Inter received only five, suggesting systemic inconsistency in officiating standards.
