The former referee Gianpaolo Calvarese commented for today’s edition of Tuttosport the performance of the whistle Mariani during the match between Juventus and Milan which ended with a score of 0-0: “Mariani confirms his reliability in a match which does not actually present any particular difficulties.
Only one episode between the two penalty areas: the touch with Florenzi’s arm in the Rossoneri penalty area. It’s not a handball, however: the limb is attached to the torso, and the impact occurs directly after Thiaw’s sudden deflection. Mariani is right to let it continue. The most striking data concerns the number of fouls: just fourteen, of which ten were committed by Juventus and four by Milan. We are well below the seasonal average for Serie A.”
