No fouls, regular goal and promoted performance. This, ‘Sky’ reports, is the position of the AIA and of its designator Gianluca Rocchi in the aftermath of Atalanta-Milan 2-1, a match that hit the headlines not only for the Goddess’ ninth success in a row but also for the outburst by Fonseca at the end of the match. The Portuguese manager complained about the validation of De Ketelaere’s goal, but for the referees it would have been a normal aerial challenge. No failure, therefore, and no stop for the Roman referee Federico La Penna.
Meanwhile, when the federal offices reopen, the prosecutor’s office will evaluate Fonseca’s statements after the match. The opening of an investigation for violation of article 23 of the sporting justice code cannot be ruled out, which prohibits subjects of federal law from publicly expressing judgments or findings detrimental to the reputation of persons, companies or operating bodies. within CONI, FIGC, UEFA or FIFA’. Should Chiné open proceedings and refer Fonseca, the Portuguese would almost certainly be punished with a fine.
Last night Fonseca harshly attacked the referee with these words: “I’ve always been silent while everyone talks, but staying silent and watching what happened on the first goal is incredible… There’s no doubt about that episode. I know that being a referee is a difficult job, but I’m tired of always seeing the same things. Against Milan there are never doubts, there is no respect towards us.”
