It thundered so much that it rained. Adapting the saying to football: they protested so much that they got what they wanted. I am referring to the one-day disqualification imposed on Insigne for having – verbatim report the sentence of the Sports Judge – “with shameless gestures directed at the race director, disrespectful expressions.” That would be a resounding “vaffa” accompanied by the mocking phrase “don’t do the freak!”.
THE FACT – For a behavior of this type, in general, the regulation foresees 2 days of disqualification. This time, however, Judge Mastrandrea has decided to commute a day off for a fine of 10,000 euros. All legal, for God’s sake, but quite anomalous considering the severity of the episode. Hence the bad thinking: the Neapolitan protests have had the desired effect.
THEATER – Starting with the somewhat questionable words spoken at the end of the game by Rino Gattuso, who immediately lined up on the side of his player and against referee Massa, accused by the Napoli coach of excessive susceptibility. According to Ringhio Starr, the referee should have considered “the moment of the match” and pretended not to listen, avoiding ruining a match and penalizing one team over another. “It only happens in Italy,” says Gattuso, knowing full well that abroad UEFA and FIFA are inflexible on tough players.
EVERYONE TOGETHER – It is truly surprising that a reasonable and often objective person like Gattuso could have reasoned in such a way, however, he did and was convinced of it even after the race, when tensions should subside. But not in your case. And the club immediately sided with his harsh protest, not to mention the Neapolitan fans. In chorus they immediately invoked the same treatment received a few weeks before by Juventus Morata. That is: 2 days of disqualification, then reduced to one.
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CASES – A really spurious and out of place comparison, but the Neapolitan obsession with Juve is such that it always puts the Juventus club on the line, even when it has nothing to do with him, and the episodes on the field are not comparable. At the end of the match with Benevento, the Spanish only protested to referee Pascua for not having awarded him a “shameful penalty”, without insulting him. Hence the subsequent reduction of the disqualification from 2 to 1 day, after Juve’s appeal. Which he certainly wouldn’t have presented if his player had offended the referee. As he did, for example, two years ago for Douglas Costa’s spit on Di Francesco (and in that case there were four days of disqualification). An episode as execrable as last Wednesday at the San Siro, with outrageous insults and taunts against a referee as well as a captain.
BUT STILL … – In this case, Naples, instead of scolding their player (and the latter apologizing), defended him, also demanding special treatment. Be satisfied.
