Dazn, with “Open Var”, opened another window. And it’s a window that leaves a little like that. Restless. In this difficult weekend and characterized by errors (even in Inter -Fiorentina), wrong decisions emerged – which led to the stop for Feliciani and Paolo and Pure Pairetto – but also words that leave it stone. The focus is once again on the Turin-Genoa match. The key moment of the Turin night happens during the recovery minutes, when the referee team makes a serious mistake not by assigning a clear penalty to the bull for reiterated and evident retreat to the Sanabria shirt, an event remarked by everyone and also from the same leaders arbitrators.

Solar

The Turin-Genoa referee is Feliciani, the assistants are Peretti and Carbone, the fourth man is Ferrieri Caputi. In the Var Guide of Paolo. Very hot final on the pitch: in the recovery, during the same action, in the area of ​​Genoa Matturro intervenes on Adams that goes to the ground, but above all a second after Sabelli performs precisely a retained deduction on Sanabria with the jersey of the attacker grenade that widens in a showy way. For the referee Feliciani there is nothing, even by Paolo al Var does not believe that the detention is such as to justify a penalty. At that moment, a double mistake is consumed: that of the referee on the field and immediately after that of the Var. The penalty was sunny, as it emerged universally from all the commentators. And as admitted also by the Italian Association of Referees through of Liberator, who intervened at “Open Var” on Dazn. A sensational oversight. But now something more appears.

Foul

To bring out a background is the audio of those moments spread precisely by Dazn. When the analysis of the episode begins in the Var of Lissone, the assistant Giorgio Peretti feels clearly saying clearly: “Faisted the defense I would whistle. From the Var they reply: “Wait I’m checking”. Peretti refers to the first contact in the Genoa area, the one between Adams and morning in which, however, the foul of the attacker grenade against the Genoan defender never exists. In short, a clear and evident blunder. In addition to the damage (not to be assigned a sacrosanct penalty for the subsequent deduction suffered by Sanabria), the bull also risked undergoing the mockery of seeing a foul whistled. At least this was the vision of Peretti himself.

Far, among other things …

Peretti’s phrase is a background that the next day left a thousand questions, even on social media. The first: how does Mr. Peretti have to see Adams’s foul from his long-line-up? The second: why does Peretti “suggest” this exit route, which would clearly be a somewhat bizarre “stratagem”, to the referee Feliciani and the Var of Paolo? Peretti, 43 years old, is an international assistant with 269 owners’ games: it is therefore a navigated figure. A much more experienced assistant than the thirty -year -old referee Ermanno Feliciani, who on Saturday evening reached his twenty -seventeenth conduction in Serie A. Peretti offers a way out of the referee’s mess that would have been a sensational mockery for the bull. Once the audio has been released, the accusations circulated on social media. The VAR has at least avoided that mockery, while not deleting the damage.
