Milan, fans against the referees: the Gimenez-Mancini and Beukema-Gabbia elbows

The match that sadly certified Milan’s farewell to the European cups of the next season obviously gave the inspiration to the fans to discuss above all of this. Because the sinking is truly remarkable. But, even if nobody really wants to apply – because the risk of looking at the finger and not the moon would run … – -, it is easily found a lot of ferment on the expulsion of Gimenez in Rome following an elbow to Mancini. A red that, however, nobody disputes, but a red that makes noise because it matured in the same circumstances that four days before, in the Italian Cup final, had been evaluated by the referees in the opposite way. Just go and see the images again: Gimenez’s elbow in Mancini is practically the photocopy of Beukema on a cage. Yesterday she was sanctioned with the red card, after the VAR called Piccinini to the monitor. Last Wednesday the VAR remained silent. Important episodes, both because the matches were important -both challenges with a place in Europe, in addition to a trophy -and because it happened when there was still a lot to play: Beukema -Gabbia at the minute number 43, Gimenez -Mancini at the minute number 20. If there had been uniformity of judgment, depending on the line held, Bologna would have faced half -end in numerical inferiority, or Milan would be played in Roma in Roma Eleven against eleven.

Conceiçao in the dopogara with the Giallorossi vigorously underlined the disappointment on the clear difference in the meter of judgment and recalled – but the fans obviously had already noticed – that the same referee took the room in both games. That is Mazzoleni, VAR assistant in the Italian Cup and VAR yesterday. Bizarre. And therefore the Social Rossoneri world is in total turmoil, the same frames always chase each other on the web: the elbows of Beukema and Gimenez which affects the chest of cage and Mancini. Synchronous movements, equal dynamics, opposite effects. For the Rossoneri fans an additional reason to lash out against the club, guilty of their eyes that they have no weight on a managerial level in the rooms of the Roman buildings. Whether they are those of the Hague, the League or the FIGC. Why wasn’t the VAR in the Cup final intervened? The question remains unanswered since the images show how Mariani followed the development of the action and not looking towards the center of the area. When he had turned, cage was already on the ground. Theoretically, therefore, a context in which the VAR could have been able to, had seen its extremes, intervene by recalling the referee. Yesterday those extremes were recognized.
