“I haven’t seen the images. But if it’s a simulation, that’s right.” During the press conference after the draw between his Juventus and Cagliari, Thiago Motta he returned to the second yellow given by referee Marinelli a Francisco Conceicaoby simulation, at the end of the race.
More than today’s match, the Italian-Brazilian coach’s statements look to the future: “It’s something we’ve been talking about for some time, even in meetings with Rocchi: simulations aren’t good for the game. I repeat, I have to see. But I I trust the referee, but now a precedent is opened and it must always be like this: there are no interpretations.
It shouldn’t be done every now and then or when it’s convenient: that’s not the case today, there was nothing special. The referee saw a simulation and in these cases the player must be sent off. But, from now on, it must be done always and not every now and then. We would all gain from it.”
