Emiliano Viviano he lashed out at the Serie A referees after the seventh day of the championship which was played from Friday to Sunday. The former goalkeeper spoke at TVPlayanalyzing first of all the episode of Kyriakoupoulos’ stomp on Baldanzi in Monza-Rome: “That’s more of a penalty than the ones that were called this week. It’s imprudence. The penalty called against Juventus, the one called against Fiorentina, the one called against Milan is not football… After that of Douglas Luiz, that of Baldanzi is the most everyone’s rigor, I repeat.”
Vivian returns to the penalty awarded to Cagliari: “During Juve-Cagliari, Marelli said that Gatti should have been booked after a dribble made because he caught the foot of an opponent who put it under his. But are we out of our minds? If I were an attacker I would spend my life trying to get my feet under those of the defenders. Even with Conceicao, he simulates, but Motta is right, he creates a precedent. He accentuates it, but I would give it to anyone who does something like that, but not the second one yellow, considering that you can see a thousand of them”.
Final comment on the match officials: “They tried in every way to remove subjectivity and then they make a mess anyway. What pisses me off most of all is not that the penalty isn’t called, but that they then go on to explain it in TV that Baldanzi’s is not a penalty. On Di Lorenzo’s episode against Monza they said that it is not a step on foot, more step on foot than this, he must break 3 toes on one foot then?
