‘Italy-England final must be replayed’, the desperate petition

“The Italy-England final must be replayed”. Inevitable, the change.org petition arrives to ask that the Euro 2020 final be played again. Reason? The decisions of the referee Kuipers favored Italy and distorted the game. In particular, the promoter’s aim is the detention with which Chiellini, in the final of extra time, avoided Saka’s escape. The gesture of the blue captain was punished with a warning, by regulation. For the English fans, Chiellini had to be sent off. Hence the request to repeat the game with an “impartial” referee. “The match of 11 July was not at all correct”, reads the text accompanying the petition, signed by about 100,000 people. “Italy only received a yellow card after dragging the English players as if they were slaves. The pushes, the holds, the kicks. And after all this was Italy allowed to win? Totally biased. Italy would have had to receive an expulsion for his conduct and the match should be repeated with an impartial referee “, the text continues. .
