Milan-Lazio, former referee demolishes Collu
The agitated ending of the match that Saturday night pitted AC Milan against Lazio at the ‘Meazza’ stadium gave the ‘la’ to a gigantic series of comments not only on television but also and especially on social media, where they had their say – with tones sometimes calm and others on the hysterical – fans, ordinary people and of course insiders. On the decision made by referee Collu, who chose not to award a penalty kick to the guests, even the former black jacket Gianpaolo Calvarese expressed himself, who appeared very clear in crushing the work of the 35-year-old from Cagliari.
“According to the VAR review, the arm would be out of silhouette and therefore punishable – the Teramo man’s thoughts -. But in the same announcement it is also said that shortly before there was a foul by Marušić on Pavlović. Let’s go in order: Pavlović’s is never a hand foul. The Serb is in marking, holding the man in a natural melee, not going for the ball with his arm. Second, Marušić does not commit any foul, there is no holding, no pushing, the contrast is regular. So in my opinion there are two mistakes: the hand foul is not there and neither is the previous foul. A simple situation, made rather complicated”.

The failure to award the penalty to the biancocelesti after Pavlovic’s elbow touch in the Rossoneri penalty area (reviewed at VAR by referee Collu, who had previously recognized a foul by Marusic) continues to cause discussion, and even on Sunday, social media is taken by storm. However, one thing is clear and evident: Lazio felt defrauded, so much so that, in the post-match, President Claudio Lotito opted for a press silence. The’only official communication came via a post from the biancoceleste club itself in which Lazio’s thoughts on what it saw at San Siro are clear.
Sports director Angelo Fabiani at DAZN microphones spoke about the market before the start of the challenge against AC Milan. “Insigne should be framed in a logic of the over, also according to the latest FIGC regulations. Evaluations have to be made, market making we see what are the spaces for maneuver, there are so many issues to keep in mind – he said -. Granted that soccer is done with money and ideas, the president has reassured us on the issue of exits – continued the ds -. We will try to retain the best pieces, otherwise we will go against what we have always said. It was not easy to do without Luis Alberto, Milinkovic-Savic and Immobile. There’s a lot to work on”.
