Napoli-Juve, Calvarese on Chiffi: “Never penalty from Gatti, the one on McTominay was impeccable”

In the course of his background article on Tuttosportthe former whistleblower Gianpaolo Calvarese commented on Chiffi’s refereeing in Napoli-Juventus: “Lukaku asks for a penalty for an alleged handball by Gatti, but there is nothing and Chiffi is right to let it go. The position of the right arm is in fact dynamically appropriate, the player he doesn’t even look at the ball, the limb is tight and the impact is completely random. Never a penalty for a foul by Locatelli on McTominay (…).

In the first half, however, Chiffi made a mistake in not sanctioning a foul by Thuram on Anguissa: it is true that the Juventus player takes the ball first, but then it is the Cameroonian who touches the ball, and in the end Thuram intervenes on his leg, with recall foot. Settle the Juventus advantage.”
