Inter fury, Stramaccioni does not contain himself in commentary

L’Inter brakes again and the Nerazzurri feel the breath on Milan’s neck: on Sunday Massimiliano Allegri’s Rossoneri if they win against Lazio will move back to -5 from the Nerazzurri, reopening a championship that seemed to have reached its epilogue only a week ago, before the Milan derby.

Some of the decisions of referee Manganiello in the final of the match between Inter’Inter and Atalanta have caused discussion, especially the penalty denied to the Beneamata at’87’, after a contact between Scalvini and Frattesi.

In DAZN commentary Andrea Stramaccioni, former Inter coach, did not hold back: “Scalvini spreads his arms, but voluntariness does not enter into it. Scalvini kicks Frattesi after he catches the ball, it&#8217s a penalty&#8217s enough. There’s nothing to talk about, we’ve seen 90 penalties like that”.

On the Atalanta goal, Stramaccioni instead analyzed the action as follows: “I believe that some perceptions have to be described by those who have been footballers and experienced them. Dumfries on the goal has a resounding advantage on the ball, he has no reason to speculate on a situation that he could easily have closed. He feels the push, the pressure, when you play and you feel it in that split second: it”s a foul.

Manganiello instead shot straight: “He took a huge responsibility because he can say there&#8217s been no intensity, but why should he jump? When one plays and feels the hand on his back, especially defender-striker, in 95% of the cases it”s a foul.

An authoritative voice in support of the refereeing decisions, however, came from DAZN moviolist Luca Marelli, who analyzed both episodes in more detached tones. On the contact between Sulemana and Dumfries that led to the equalizing goal, Marelli was clear: “There are no low contacts, the’only one is the hand resting on the back but it does not seem to push. In my opinion, Manganiello was right to let it go, the choice seems to me the most correct because there are no low contacts”.

Also on the Frattesi-Scalvini case, while admitting some margin of subjectivity, the expert basically endorsed the match director&#8217s actions: “Frattesi anticipates, Scalvini arrives late and touches Frattesi&#8217s leg, but seeing the picture the contact is really very light. It&#8217s not really a kick, it&#8217s about sensitivity and subjectivity. I don”t see a penalty kick contact.
