Lazio star Sinisa Mihajlovic has revealed his mistrust of Italian referees, in an interview that came very much from the heart. He also allows that Lazio have mad their fair share of mistakes this season, but believes they will eventually grab 4th place.

"I always say what I think and I'll do it this time as well: we have lost a couple of good chances this season but the referees made too many mistakes and most of the time they were decisive. I have always tried to understand the referees and I have always accepted their decisions, I can understand that they can make a mistake but this year they have made too many and quite frankly I don't trust referees anymore.

Did you see what happened at the Olimpico on Sunday? What happened in Milan against Roma? How can you not see such a clear handball? The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I took a free kick but I have never seen such an obvious foul as that. This year there have been too many mistakes against Lazio and Perugia and the same thing happened to Roma last year. However I must say that if we hadn't missed so many easy shots during this season we would have more points. Now we have to win both games and unfortunately we have to look at what the other teams do as well".

In hoping for a draw in the Parma game on Sunday he went on:

"We have to win against Brescia and Modena and then we'll wait and see. We can't miss anymore good chances though. I don't want to accuse our strikers because they all work hard but we have underachieved this year and it's everybody's fault".

"We all have to take part in the next capital share raise according to our possibilities because Lazio needs help and we have to prove our love to this club. I don't want to think about my future now I'm just going to concentrate on playing well".
