Players were furious as they rewatched the incident at halftime, with voices in the corridor shouting: “No, come on – what foul is that?”

According to the reports, “nobody accepted with calmness such a strange decision: first no, then yes.”

The problem, they noted, was psychological.

“The team stayed stuck in that moment,” losing focus as Napoli took control after the break.

Marotta later went on camera to express the club’s position.

“I believe in the centrality of the referee, and he cannot be influenced like that in such a decision.”
