Lyon, whose financial situation is at its peak and has problems, is one of the teams that make the most transition attacks in the Europa League. He is 2nd in meeting the ball in the opponent’s penalty area. They are a team with good individual talents and good offensive sets. Fenerbahçe started the game with pressure on the front and said that it would be risk-free, controlled and safe, and sometimes with a willing game, I would lie down and if not, I would get a point that Mourinho aimed and wanted, and he did. It was like a match to celebrate Maximin and Cengiz.
Simone Sozza, at the age of 37, officiated the Inter-Milan match in the Italian Super Cup Final this season, but he is not a very talented referee. Right at the beginning of the match, when Cherki opened his foot with the ball, he pressed Fred’s Achilles so hard with his free left foot that; His uncontrolled movement at the border should have been a clear yellow, but look at the scandal, he gave the foul in favor of Lyon. The same Cherki also did a foot stomp to Osayi. The referee didn’t even give a foul, let alone the yellow. Lyon players are passing the time, but the referee cannot take precautions because he cannot read the game. He slides over Kumbedi’s ball with his legs upright and commits a brutal foul on Szymanski. According to our understanding of football, it was a clear red card on the field because it involved speed, violence and brutality, but the referee showed a yellow card. The only reason why 50-year-old VAR referee Mazzoleni did not step in was that a part of the foot appeared to be free. He may have thought “Limited contact-border line”! As the first half was about to end, this time Niakhate slipped and made a foul on İrfan Can Kahveci, the action was a clear yellow card, but since the referee’s mind remained in the first position, this time he made a mistaken decision and issued a direct red card. VAR stepped in, watched the position for 20 seconds in OFR, returned to the field, and with the right decision, red was canceled and yellow remained. He did not show a card for Abner’s foul on Dzeko. Amrabat came sliding, no contact but saw yellow! After all these decisions and fouls not called, come and don’t read “intent”! The ball that hit En- Nesyri’s right hand fell in front of him, he shot it and it was a goal. It is correct to cancel the goal because he played with his hand. If this is the referee the Italians are hoping for…
