Juventus’ first league defeat left Serie A with a long list of recriminations and the usual and inevitable dispute over the direction of the arbitration. To finish on the bench, after the victory of Fiorentina de Prandelli at the ‘Stadium’, this time it is Federico La Penna: 37-year-old referee, now in his eighth appearance at this tournament.
After the controversial decisions made during the Turin match, especially those related to the penalties not awarded to the bianconeri for the interventions on Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardeschi (episodes in which the VAR could not intervene) and the second yellow missed Borja Valero, La Penna had to defend itself from the crossfire of criticism: very strict with him and with his assistants. To evaluate his work is now also the Association of Referees of Italy and especially the designator Nicola Rizzoli: ready to intervene with the probable Suspension of the Roman whistle.
Rizzoli stops La Penna
According to the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’, Federico La Penna risks in fact a stop twist of referee appointments, after the errors of Juventus-Fiorentina, and to skip the appointment with the fifteenth day: session scheduled after the brief Christmas break. The day of ‘forced’ rest He had already touched his other teammates this season (Giacomelli, Nasca, Maresca and Piccinini) due to errors in Milan-Rome, Inter-Parma and Rome-Sassuolo.
Defined by many as the most promising among the young made to grow by Rizzoli and consequently highly appreciated in the referee’s environment, the referee will know his fate in the next few hours, when the AIA designations ahead of the next Serie A matches. However, the long-awaited break seems to be one step away from the CAN whistle in Rome.
