Referee Marchetti immediately derails. He doesn’t send off the purple for a bad challenge on Bellanova and doesn’t use common sense on the second yellow against the grenade
Marchetti derails almost immediately and makes a series of mistakes that end up setting the mood ablaze. In the 7th minute, Ranieri is punishable with a red card: the Fiorentina defender never takes the ball and instead hits Bellanova squarely, even in a dangerous manner. In the 38th minute, the goal was disallowed against Torino: Zapata comes into contact with Milenkovic (Marchetti doesn’t see, the VAR will be needed): a push that isn’t overwhelming, we see many in the league without punishment. Between the 49th and 51st minutes Ricci received two yellows: the first was a slap in the face, the second lacked the managerial common sense to scold the player and that was it.
Furthermore, Ricci does not indulge in harmful words and the only detective story should have been shown only to Arthur. The first half ends with 10 minutes more. In the second half, the nervousness that had already descended on the match for some time worsened towards the end: before the altercation between the coaches, Barak’s entry on Bellanova was at the limit; the ball is caught, of course, but the viola’s exposed studs impact above the grenade’s ankle.
