The senators from Campania Gianni Pittella and Gateano Quagliariello presented a question to the Senate on the alleged penalty foul, preceded by an evident Neapolitan nudge on the Nerazzurri, 86 minutes from Napoli-Atalanta played at the San Paolo on Wednesday 30 October.

On the continuation of the action, Gasperini's men found the goal of the definitive 2-2 with Josip Iličić. And immediately after the blue coach CarloAncelotti he was expelled for protests.

Here is the text published on Facebook by Pittella:

Granted
– that the ministry's tasks include the institutional activity for the fight against the manipulation of sports results and the promotion of loyalty as a qualifying component of every sporting initiative;
– that on Wednesday 30 October at 7 pm the match of the tenth day of the soccer championship between Naples and Atalanta was played, respectively fourth and third in the standings;
– that at 85 'minutes Mr. Piero Giacomelli, referee of the match, he blatantly denied a penalty to the home team, Napoli, for a foul by an Atalanta defender on striker Fernando Llorente, on the result of two to one for Napoli;
– that provocatively Mr. Giacomelli has even refused to resort to the technology of the Var, Video Assistant Referee, introduced in the Italian soccer championship in the 2017-2018 season to crush the scourge of refereeing errors and ensure clean results at the matches;
– that in the development of the same action Atalanta equalized;
– that at the end of the match Napoli was clearly defrauded losing two points in the standings, falling to fifth place;
– that at the end of the game Mr. Carlo Ancelotti, Napoli coach considered among the best in the world for the results obtained in the past – Scudetti and Champions League, the highest European competition, won with teams trained in Italy, France, England, Spain and Germany – he said: "I feel disappointed and offended in my professionalism ";
– that Mr. Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of the Naples Football Club, accused the leaders of arbitration nominations: "We are tired, without us the referees would go to peel the potatoes. We are tired of paying this arbitration class or I believe that Nicchi and Rizzoli do not do their job as well. Like the other presidents, I finance Italian football, referees and the FIGC, so we have the right to be heard ”;
– that two hours later during the match Juventus-Genoa was assigned to the home team, at the last second of the game, at 95 ’, a less obvious penalty than the one denied in Naples;

The deputy from Bergamo Daniele Belotti, a well-known Atalantine fan, replies to his Neapolitan colleagues:

Let's be clear:
1) rigor did not exist
2) the practice of parliamentary interrogation for the arbitration of a match is old and ridiculous (I, on the occasion of the Italian Cup final, wrote, as a non-deputy fan, to the president of the referees, not to the sports minister)
3) we are the usual Neapolitan whining
4) I say this as a fan, equalizing at the San Paolo at the 85th in the action following the penalty claimed, with the end of protests in the field and the questions of dozens of Neapolitan parliamentarians, I don't know why but it gives even more satisfaction. Almost like the mythical doublet of Caldara in 2018 and the millimetric rescue on the line of Masiello last April. Force Atalanta
