The appointment of the our SOS Referees column with Massimo Chiesa. The former international referee, exclusively to the microphones of Calciomercato.com, puts under the magnifying glass the main slow motion cases of each matchday of Serie A, the positive aspects (if any) and assigns the votes to the referees of the Italian top league. Below is the summary of the disputed episodes of the 8th day of Serie A:
VOTES AND JUDGMENTS TO THE REFEREES of the 8th day (WITHOUT THE AID OF VAR):
Crotone-Lazio: Sacchi 6 (Var Guide). “He manages the game well in very difficult weather conditions”.
Fiorentina-Benevento: Ghersini 6 (Var Di Paolo). “Sufficient performance, even if some contact is lost on both sides.”
Inter-Turin: The Pen 6 (Var Abyss). “Excellent example of collaboration between the referee and the Var. Without Var, he would have been 5.5 in the report card but he is good at using technology in the two crucial episodes at San Siro and therefore the overall performance is sufficient.At 58 ‘the Var calls him to the monitor for Young’s kick on Singo’s chest, on which the referee was not intervening. After seeing the pictures, the referee rightly changes his mind and awards the penalty with yellow to Young for dangerous play. Var again decisive on the double mistake in the 81st minute when Nkoulou tripped Hakimi in the area: the first mistake, however, is the assistant Di Vuolo who flaunts the return offside of the Moroccan whose position is healed by the play of the grenade (stops the ball before hitting it). Right call by the Var and correct decision by La Penna, who assigns the second penalty of the match “.
Juventus-Cagliari: Maresca 6 (Var Mariani). “He returns after the chaos in the role of Var in Inter-Parma. At 11 ‘Morata is pinched in an offside position and cancels Bernardeschi’s 1-0. Then it is Marin’s offside that invalidates Klavan’s goal. Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo’s first goal is regular as Morata is in an irregular position, but his shot does not crash at the start (Cragno sees the goal kick off without obstacles) “.
Naples-Milan: Valeri 6 (Var Irrati). “Game with a very high difficulty coefficient. Bakayoko’s expulsion is correct, the second yellow evident, less the first. The Napoli player touches the ball, but he goes with the sole on Saelemaekers’ ankle. Hence the decision of the referee – who was still close to the action and was able to evaluate the action well – to warn the player (first yellow). Naive in the second half Bakayoko who, already warned, commits that intervention. At 51 ‘inexplicable the missed whistle for the elbow struck in the deadlift from Ibra to Koulibaly which would have been yellow. On Mertens’ 1-2 goal, AC Milan’s timid protests over a Bakayoko-Kessie contact: right to let it go on “.
Rome-Parma: Manganiello 6 (Var Mazzoleni). “Bruno Alves keeps Mayoral in goal on the 1-0 goal of the Giallorossi”.
Sampdoria-Bologna: Marinelli 6 (Var Massa). “Easy match direction of the referee”.
Spezia-Atalanta: Rapuano 6 (Var Banti). “It has to improve in terms of personality.”
Udinese-Genoa: Calvarese 6 (Var Nasca). “At 97 ‘, Perin out of his own area, overwhelms Larsen: red card impeccable”.
Verona-Sassuolo: Chiffi 6.5 (Var Pairetto). “Called to replace Fabbri, he directs the match in a more than positive way”.
