An old saying states that errors and favors arbitration are compensated at the end of a season. It will be true, but every mistake and gift has a clear weight. Impossible, for example, is to compare two episodes that occur in different competitions in which the stakes varies its value. It's what happened to Juventus, first in the standings thanks especially to the decisions of the fallacious referees and assistants. The Bianconeri have received favors in two big matches played so far against Rome and Naples, both won by Juventus in the controversy. Aid without which Allegri's men would not be able to be right of their opponents, drawing today a Series A very different.
The crime NAPLES
<strong>
So even the "San Paolo", after the incredible oversights during Udinese-Roma, arrived on time other blunders of sextets arbitration. A benefit was again Juventus, emerged victorious against Napoli. A successful character, shout the wire Bianconeri. About the referee, asserts the rest of Italy pallonara. If there is no doubt that the Old Lady has played a mangy race to the "San Paolo", it is equally undeniable that without the offside not FOUND in Caceres on goal 2-1 Juventus would not be able to return to +3 on Rome. A serious oversight, mammoth, made even more macroscopic from the genesis of the action: a free kick, then a stationary ball, on which the assistant line Di Liberatore should not have any problems in verifying the location and irregular dell'uruguagio Chiellini who also has a significant influence. A very welcome gift to Juventus after a 1-1 draw in Britos was beginning to feel the pressure of the hosts. An error so great that overshadows another resounding failure backpass voluntary arbitration on Chiellini Buffon who then blocked the ball with his hands or not quite orthodox output of the same goalkeeper who has collapsed on Koulibaly.
And little serve the justifications of the people Juventus recalling that last year Callejon offside paved the way to Naples in the 2-0 win over Juventus, who saw in the first leg also Llorente he signed the advantage Juventus in clear offside.
TWO CLUES
The problem is that the goal of irregular Caceres can be summed to what happened in Juve-Roma. To err is human, but to preserve not. Penalties for hand ball involuntary Maicon and tripping of Pjanic on Pogba (both episodes occurred outside area) still cry vengeance. Today the Bianconeri without the following of favors would 4 points lower in the standings, while it anderebbe added one at Rome that he would at least draw in Turin. The ranking of the Roma in Serie A would read head to +2.
An honest analysis that does not want to deny the merits of Juventus or the fact that even the Capitoline have received their aid (in Udine and against Sassuolo), but nailing the referees with their responsibilities. As you can imagine to compete on par if in times of trouble the rulers of our football are regularly favorites? Impossible, in fact, like yesterday tweeted a De Laurentiis furious, mocked again by Juve after the known facts in the Super Cup in Beijing two years ago.
The risk is that decide the outcome of a championship are no longer Pogba, Totti and Higuain, but a Windspear, a Rocchi or a guide on duty. Characters that should have a role supporting actor and instead appeared to become protagonists and chief judges. A slap to the already very little credibility of the Italian football system.
SPONSOR
A separate chapter deserves never too clarified history of sponsorship of Fiat and Bassetti with the Football Association. The FIGC also with that money (the automaker pays about 3 million) pay the arbitrators, as the AIA (Italian Arbitration Association) is one of the federal branches. It is certainly legal that two marks related to Juventus (Bassetti belongs to the group of which Buffon Zucchi is the majority shareholder) can bind to whomsoever they wish, but it is unethical that this happens, as it becomes an easy mental exercise combine all the many, too many favors received by the Old Lady. Maybe a step back by FIGC, Fiat and Bassetti would be appropriate to thin out the sky from clouds that herald other storms.
