The slow motion of Juventus-Inter: Calvarese and Irrati, how many mistakes

A match conditioned by the … monitor. More than once Calvarese lets it go, the Var Irrati calls him back and …

The catalog of errors of Calvarese’s first Juve-Inter starts at 22 ‘when the scrum in the Inter area ends with Chiellini on the ground on a corner. There is nothing for the referee, but Var Irrati shows him Darmian’s arm on the body of the defender Juve (who is not innocent himself). On the deductions, the intensity of which is assessed in the field, the review seems forced, also with respect to the indications of the Rizzoli designator to review the doubtful cases. It is difficult for the monitor to ignore the foul, so Calvarese decrees the penalty with yellow to Darmian. And 12 ‘later here we go again: Lautaro goes down, for Calvarese there is nothing. Irrati recalls him again: De Ligt’s pinch on the heel is there and is still a penalty. But even here it looks like a contact on which the monitor seems too much.

In the second half

—

Not enough: at 10 ‘of the second half there is a melee between Bentancur (already booked) and Lukaku, who at the moment Calvarese does not seem to even consider a foul. Some protest and thinks about it. Indeed, it goes further: second yellow and the Uruguayan is out. The referee explains that the Belgian was headed for the goal, but the expulsion is senseless. At 20 ‘Lukaku’s attacking foul on Chiellini stops everything before Lautaro hits the net. But the thrust seems too light even for a whistle. At 37 ‘st Nerazzurri on the net, the referee immediately cancels for a foul by Lukaku on Chiellini who goes down. Crucial monitor this time: Chiellini is tugging on the other. Valid goal. At 4 ‘from 90’ Cuadrado draws a more than clever penalty by hooking himself to Perisic entering the area. Rigor without TV. But with so much ‘generosity’.
