For former referee Graziano Cesari the one to be sent off was another: Alessandro Bastoni

It has been talked about from the start, it will continue to be talked about: referee La Penna of Rome, chosen by designator Rocchi to direct the Italian derby between Inter and Juventus, did not make a great impression, to put it mildly. Weighing like a boulder was the red card waved in Pierre Kalulu’s face in the first half for an episode that also featured Inter and national team defender Alessandro Bastoni.

La Penna was put behind the blackboard by all the former referees who wanted to have their say. Among them Graziano Cesari, who has been on Mediaset’s commentary team for years. “He committed a blue-pencil error. The second yellow is nonexistent. There is no contact between Bastoni and Kalulu. There is distance. The Pen has a clear view but takes a glare. This was a genuine blunder. The referee’s mistake saves the Nerazzurri defender from the second caution for non-regulation behavior”. In short, for the Ligurian, the one to be sent to the shower was precisely the Nerazzurri, already cautioned like the Juventino.

These, on the other hand, are the words of DAZN’s moviolista, another former referee, albeit with a less important career than Cesari’s, Luca Marelli. Even the Como man was not tender with the Roman black jacket: “Very serious mistake by La Penna, on which there is nothing more to do because VAR cannot intervene on second admonitions. There was no contact between Kalulu and Bastoni.”

"Scandal" for Caterina Balivo: there's an uncle’s in the middle… interista
The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you must rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

“Smart move to take Bastoni off at halftime: he was already cautioned” said Radio Rai commentator Francesco Repice when the second half of the supersfight began. “Everything is quite puzzling, we stick to what the rules are: this expulsion, however, will be talked about for a very long time” he added. “Matches are ruined in this way” recoiled Fulvio Collovati, 1982 world champion and second voice, frankly embarrassed by what he saw on a field on which he has been a protagonist for years and years.
