Inter-Juventus chaos: threats to La Penna who responds with complaints

The controversy related to Inter-Juventus does not subside. The second yellow against Kalulu, waved by’referee La Penna continues to cause discussion. There are those who are going even further. After the insults to Bastoni, guilty of celebrating in an unsportsmanlike manner at the time of the Bianconero’s ejection (the Nerazzurri defender has closed, momentarily, his social networks), come the threats, definitely heavy. against the match director.

The Pen has been targeted on social media. As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the insults were so heavy that they went as far as actual death threats. An unfortunate situation that convinced the match director, among other lawyers, to collect all the material and file a complaint with the Postal Police. A harsh response to those who continue, unabated, to insult him for the’mistake during the Derby d’Italia.

All this, despite the fact that Rocchi, the head of referees, admitted La Penna’s mistake himself: “We are very sorry: for La Penna&#8217s decision, which is clearly wrong, and for the fact that we could not use Var to heal it” the words, to Ansa’Rocchi himself. Yet, La Penna has not been “forgiven” by many pseudo-fans who decided to take to threats via social media, putting the match director in an uncomfortable situation.

In the meantime, Rocchi is reportedly considering stopping La Penna. A two-day stop is rumored. At the moment, the controversy related to Inter-Juventus is not waning; on the contrary, it is bringing to light old grudges and alleged refereeing errors from the past.

The controversy is not going away.

In the immediate future, meanwhile, the IFAB (the body in charge of preserving and/or changing soccer rules), will make official the inclusion of the rule that provides for the possibility of recalling the match director in the case of a second yellow situation against a player, as happened at San Siro with Kalulu.
