Gian Piero Gasperini was sent off for a yellow card during Parma-Atalanta due to protests over a foul called. But his position would be complicated due to one too many words uttered by the coach
For theAtalanta which is proceeding like a rocket in this first part of the season (we are at seven victories in a row in the championship) a resounding tile falls which concerns Gian Piero Gasperini. In fact, the Orobic coach was not alone sent off during the match at Parmabut he could also risk watching the next matches directly from the stands.
Gasperini’s protests during Parma-Atalanta: what happened
It is the 54th of Parma-Atalanta, we are at 1-2 (the match will end with a score of 1-3): a few minutes after the goal Chancellors for the ducals, the referee Manganiello he whistled a foul immediately by the Parma striker and by De Roon. This upset Gasperini, who deemed it unnecessary to decree a foul which, evidently, did not exist for him. The coach’s protests, however, caused an aftermath, with the referee (recalled by the fourth official) who first he drew the yellow card and, subsequently, seeing that the technician showed no signs of calming the stormy and vibrant protest, he then showed red.
Gasperini lets slip a “moron”: who was he referring to?
Expelled, Gasperini shortly afterwards headed for the locker room with a furious spirit. And the microphones picked up some insults along the way through the tunnel, probably directed towards the referee and the fourth official, and in particular a glaring “moron” stood out. And the adverb probably it should be further underlined because there is no certainty who exactly the Europa League champion coach was referring to with the Goddess.
But as Metastasio wrote, “a voice from the heart that has escaped, then calling back is not worth it; the arrow cannot be held back when it comes out of the bow”. What is said is said, and although we cannot know exactly who the possible unfortunate victim of the sharp insult was, yesand that “moron” were reported by Manganiello in his report, things would become further complicated for Gasperini.
What does Gasperini risk?
The certainty is that the head of the Grugliasco coach is about to fall a disqualification that will lead him to miss the next match of the championship scheduled – away – against Roma. But the crucial next appointment in Bergamo could also be at risk against Milan: everything will depend on the referee’s report and what is reported.
