“The disqualification of Francisco Conceicao is a hymn to obtuseness.” He doesn’t mince words Guido Vaciagoto start your background on Tuttosport regarding the confirmation of the stop given away by Juventus after the match against Cagliari. “Referee Marinelli makes a mistake and sends off Conceiçao for simulation; then, consistent with his mistake, he writes the scoresheet and reiterates the concept.”
“In the meantime – continues Vaciago – the deputy referee Gervasoni says, on TV, that that is a wrong decision and the referee Rocchi confirms the following day. When you make a mistake, you can also correct it… But no: take the report, read the report, look at the scoreboard, issue a sentence, stamp, next one, here we don’t waste time thinking. So Francisco Conceiçao got a free match and Thiago Motta will have to do without it (Lazio thanks you heartily for the favor. requested), all for an error recognized by all, but unfortunately written in a report.”
Closing with a reference to another story concerning Juventus: “But what credibility can a justice that works like this have? Which never manages to be coherent with itself both when it evaluates a pest and when it judges capital gains in two, if not three different ways”. And in the words of Thiago Motta: “Did he say «If Conceiçao simulated, it is right that he pays, but it must always be like this»? Well, beyond the fact that Conceiçao did not simulate, the problem is precisely this: it will not be always like this.”
