Gasperini is right

And he's right. Fully right. In the first case, Immobile is (perhaps) touched by Palomino, takes a step and only then decides to collapse on the floor screaming in pain (!). More philosophical the explanation on the second penalty, even this non-existent at least according to the sporting spirit: De Roon is ahead and is about to play the ball, Immobile arrives and places his leg in front of the Dutch for the sole purpose of being hit. And there is a big difference between this dynamic and the one in which an attacker takes a position to protect the ball. All the difference in the world passes through. Like the one between the complaining if someone stepped on my foot voluntarily and the complaining if I myself put my foot under that of an unaware passerby who walks on his own. Something that closely resembles the cowardly strategy of those scoundrels who come out of nowhere in the middle of the road and get themselves invested by some unfortunate motorist and then ask for financial compensation.

Here the question starts to get serious, species in the Var regime. How can these penalties be whistled and not – for example – that of Bonucci that overwhelms Lukaku going with it vehemently on the center of the back (same referee: Rocchi)? How can you whistle Lukaku who caresses Peluso (which then flies away from her) and not whistle the thrust of Pjanic who is a strike in the Bologna area? One must agree with Gasperini, who had already been brave in the past year Church after a resounding simulation, and also with Beppe Bergomi, which a Sky he pointed out that football is increasingly going in the wrong direction. And in fact we see strikers who collapse at the slightest contact, but also defenders and midfielders who curl up on themselves when pressed to win the so-called "experience phallus". No, it is not experience: it is unsportsmanlike. And it's time to call it by its name.

It would be nice if everyone was treated like Sanchez is Stretcher, warned of the first simulation. It would be nice even if the coaches talked like Gasperini did, but not just the clever opponents, even of their own. Otherwise it's too easy. And above all, it would be nice if the experts started to have more courage and to remember why they do this job, which is not to sweeten the truth, but only to tell it. Without filters and without adjustments.
