Officials have received plenty of flak in the last couple of weeks and the Italian is the latest to join in with the criticism.<\/p>\n<p>De Zerbi saw his Brighton side draw 1-1 at home to relegation-threatened Sheffield United on Sunday. The Seagulls are now winless in their last six league matches, a run stretching back to September 24.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton led 1-0 before Mahmoud Dahoud was sent off for a poor challenge on Ben Osborn midway through the second half. The Blades took advantage of having an extra man, equalising through an Adam Webster own goal just five minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>De Zerbi had no complaints about the decision to send Dahoud off. However, he gave a damning assessment of the officials&#8217; overall performance, saying he doesn&#8217;t understand why VAR is so inconsistent in England.<\/p>\n<p>De Zerbi said: &#8220;I am honest and clear, I don\u2019t like 80 per cent of English referees. That isn\u2019t a new opinion. I don\u2019t like them.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd may have to tweak Mason Greenwood agreement after &#8216;attractive offer&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Roberto-De-Zerbi-Premier-League-referees-Mikel-Arteta-5062809.jpg?r=1699860957481\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t like their behaviour on the pitch. How would I like to see them change? I only think about my players, it isn\u2019t my job. I accept everything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now I am working in England and speak only about English referees. England is the only country when there is VAR, you are not sure that the decision is right.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In other countries, you have to be sure 100 per cent that the decision taken is right. In England no and I am not able to understand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dahoud will miss the league matches against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Brighton. De Zerbi said the German should have known better.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd latest injury news including Eriksen, Hojlund, Shaw, Casemiro updates[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tottenham may live to regret Ward-Prowse snub as Maddison fears realised[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Liverpool have another Darwin Nunez dilemma thanks to Premier League bosses[OPINION] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;If I see the new rules it is a red card, it is clear.
