Daniele De Rossi is finding it difficult to contain himself after Genoa-Napoli 0-2, but he must do so in order not to risk exemplary punitive measures. The desire to protest strongly publicly after the De Bruyne-Vazquez contact episode, which was not punished by referee Di Bello, is great, but the former midfielder does not want to risk possible suspensions with harsh words. This is the concept that the red and blue coach made clear immediately after the match, as did all his leaders, outraged by the way the match went in the second half.
De Rossi outraged after Genoa-Roma over De Bruyne-Vazquez contact in first goal
First of all, there is no doubt that the Belgian footballer's intervention is a foul that should always be punished and therefore it is a mistake by Di Bello. Daniele De Rossi showed on DAZN that he has very clear ideas and that he is ready to do something that no one else does in the future, namely to admit that he has benefited from a refereeing episode in his favor: "We all think the same way. I believe that no one inside the stadium thinks differently. I would like to win a match like that one day, so that I could show you that I would come here and tell you that I have won a match in a slightly special way."
An open provocation also to the hypocrisy of a system where one only protests when someone is harmed. Of course, no reference to Allegri, who, when asked about the episode, admitted that he had not been able to see anything because he was far away.
De Rossi disagrees with the changes in attitude from the refereeing directors
According to the former Romanist, what happened against Napoli is something that is difficult to even describe, that can only feed great bitterness and disappointment: "Whoever plays football cannot fail to consider this a foul and whoever refereed, I think every referee in the world, would have said a foul at that moment. I stop here, because I want to go to the bench in Rome against Lazio, because I want to go to the bench at home against Como. Because this is really ugly, in my opinion. I am very sorry, it is really a great bitterness for all the protagonists, in my opinion. It is an ugly thing."
In this season, which has started under the sign of controversy, as confirmed by this situation and the one between Inter and Monza for Calhanoglu's goal, the referee designer has already made it clear that VAR will be used as little as possible. A change of direction compared to last season, which however does not convince De Rossi. The Genoa coach does not seem convinced by these changes that depend on the change of managers, as he would prefer more objective situations over time: "I don't want to start in the first week immediately 'Italian style', I don't want to, I don't want to. But this has hurt me a lot".
In short, a great effort not to express his opinion clearly: "Last year we lost a match like that in the 90th, 95th minute, from a penalty that later became clear that it didn't exist, but it was different. There was a touch, there was a friction. I think today's is exactly... I don't want to say what today's is. I don't want to say it."
