It is becoming an established habit to protest live on TV against the referees when you have just finished playing against Juventus. It had happened at Atalanta two weeks ago, with the manager Marino furious for Mariani’s decisions, and it happened again yesterday with the Empoli coach Andreazzoli furious for a penalty not granted by the referee Maresca after a contact between Rabiot e Zurkowski.
Andreazzoli talks about two weights and two measures with Juve
In analyzing the suspicious episode of Empoli-Juventus Andreazzoli says: “Right at that point I took a penalty against for a much less strong Bennacer-Dybala contact, this for me is definitely stronger than that parameter there. Much much more sought by Dybala at the time but it is a matter of interpretations ”.
Then he adds: “I blindly trust what they do referees and of who is there to operate. The important thing is that you work to improve things and not to complicate them. Sometimes you try to complicate them, you also do it with those who go out on the field to referee, and instead you make a bit of a mess. For me, however, that contact there is a must ”.
For Marelli there is no penalty against Juventus
An opinion not shared by Luca Marelli. The former referee from Como, today a commentator on Dazn, comments as follows: “The referee’s assessment of not granting the penalty has been corrected: Zurkowski seek contact with Rabiot. On the other hand, it is a type of episode on which the Var could not have intervened, as it was at the complete discretion of the referee “.
For Pistocchi two penalties were denied at Empoli
Instead, Maurizio Pistocchi is an extremist. The former Mediaset moviolista doubles his shot and writes on twitter: “There are two penalty fouls in Empoli-Juve: 19 ‘first half: Rabiot on Zurkowski and 29’ second half De Ligt on Lamantia. But neither Maresca, nor the Var employee Valeri (yes, he himself, the one who was also at the Var in Inter-Juve in 2018) have not seen anything “.
