Napoli's Sarri hits back at Zenga over VAR controversy
- Nima Tavallaey Roodsari (@NimaTavRood)
After the match Walter Zenga was very critical due to penalty not given to the homeside where the ball hit Mertens hand but no penalty was given after the VAR was consulted via silent check. However the images showed that a penalty call could and maybe should have been given which annoyed Zenga.
Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri responded saying: "You can't speak that Mertens took the ball voluntarily, the ball deflected off of Hamsik and hit Mertens. It would be too excessive to speak about a voluntary and intentional handball."
