Adrien Rabiot slams Calvarese: “Lying won’t get you far”
In his CalVARese segment, the former referee defends that Marcandalli only deserved a yellow for stopping Rabiot in Genoa-Milan 1-2. The Frenchman has replied online.
AC Milan midfielder Adrien Rabiot has responded online to former referee Gianpaolo Calvarese, who backed the decision not to send off Alessandro Marcandalli in the Genoa-Milan 1-2. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Rabiot argues that in football, as in life, mistakes happen and the honest thing is to admit them, and warns that constant lying will get nobody anywhere.
The incident: Marcandalli stopped Rabiot when he was breaking on the counterattack. Milan protested for a red card for DOGSO, but referee Massa only showed a yellow, booked the Frenchman for protesting and sent off three members of the Milan bench.
Calvarese considers the call correct: even with no other defender between Rabiot and goal, the distance from the box and the dynamics of the play justified only a yellow.
