The shocking penalty not given against Juventus has sparked discussion, it seems that several clubs have contacted the AIA in concern.
Claudio Zuliani, journalist and Juventus fan, through tuttojuve, has come back to Di Bello’s mistake of not awarding a penalty to Bologna against the bianconeri: “Here we go again, it’s the same old story. The anti-Juve narrative strikes again. Maybe they will break the record for the longest VAR analysis for a single incident: 17 minutes and 34 seconds. And what about the penalties not given to Juventus? The burying of Chiesa, Lucumi with his wide arm that still doesn’t touch the ground, Lucumi’s second handball as the ball bounces off him (the same dynamic that led to the penalty awarded to Milan on the same matchday). And the disallowed goal for Vlahovic with Rabiot disturbing him instead of the goalkeeper, who indeed doesn’t complain but regrets not saving it? These things don’t matter. Let’s quickly go through them because the shocking mistake is against Bologna. Well, there are no shocking mistakes and quick mistakes to analyze.”
Furthermore, Zuliani added: “There are mistakes in football that count the same for everyone. The penalty that you don’t give me for Chiesa after 8 minutes can change the game as much as the one you expect for Ndoye. And since, chronologically, we don’t start from the bottom but from the beginning, if you blow the whistle for the penalty on Chiesa, the whole sequence of the match changes and we don’t even get to the one for Ndoye. A penalty is a penalty, a disallowed goal is a disallowed goal, an offside is an offside, period. They have once again turned a game where Juventus advances a lot into a match stolen by Juventus.”
Then he reveals: “Meanwhile, we are informed that many clubs (not Bologna) have contacted Pinzani, the person in charge of the relationship between AIA and football clubs, regarding concerns that the championship in its second matchday is compromised. Compared to the phone calls of Calciopoli, they are insignificant!”.
