Conte Critiques VAR After Napoli-Inter Draw

Napoli coach Antonio Conte expressed his frustration with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) after a controversial 1-1 draw against Inter Milan at San Siro. He criticized VAR for failing to overturn a penalty awarded to Inter for a foul by Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, stating that VAR should intervene when clear errors are made. Despite the disappointment regarding the officiating, Conte praised his team's performance, emphasizing their strength and character throughout the match. Napoli remains at the top of Serie A with 26 points, just one ahead of a tightly contested group including Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter, and Lazio. The draw kept Napoli's lead intact as they head into the international break, but the ongoing debate over VAR's effectiveness continues to stir controversy in Italian football. Conte highlighted the need for consistent use of VAR to maintain fairness in the game.
