“My first 18 months in Italy have not changed me,” assured the former Lille boss. “A Coach must also e an actor, able to move between players and Press.
“When I said we’d win the Scudetto, I believed it, but I also knew that it was the right moment to say that. It was difficult to lose that way in Turin, but something has to be changed when it comes to referees.”
Garcia has continually referred back to the 3-2 defeat at the Juventus Stadium, as Roma had complaints about all three goals.
“I will accept the verdict of the campaign, but perhaps for the rest of the season or the rest of my life I won’t be able to accept the way we lost in Turin.
“I don’t have regrets for the three goals that should’ve been disallowed: it’s the feeling of injustice that will be hard to cancel out.
“I don’t believe in this so-called psychological sublimation, as referees are men and have to decide in a fraction of a second. However, since we’ve had six officials on the field, I haven’t seen improvements. It doesn’t work: either we remove replays from television coverage altogether or we help the referees.
“I also don’t believe that the errors even themselves out across the season: injustice must be evaluated in the moment.”
