Two wins out of three with Genoa and six out of nine in total without defeat: that’s the palmarès of Livio Marinelli, designated to referee Atalanta’s Coppa Italia quarterfinal match Tuesday night against Bologna with the Nerazzurri. The same one apprised by coach Gian Piero Gasperini among “boyish referees who wave cards without a reason” after a red followed by Udinese’s Beto’s equalizer in extremis now four years ago.
Marinelli, l’arbitro ragazzino contro il Bologna
It was October 24, 2021, a Lunch Match at noon and a half at Gewiss Stadium. “I’m getting cards waved in front of me by a kid who doesn’t put his face on it. I was picking up one of my own (Miranchuk, who had lost the ball, Ed.)….” The Atalanta coach’s ipse dixit, due in part to the concomitant disappointment at the equalizer taken after his ouster resulting in his going back to the stands: at 56′ Malinovskyi and 94′ Beto, 3 minutes after the double yellow to the Nerazzurri coach, who was guilty of asking the person concerned why he had been cautioned.
L’Atalanta alla decima con l’Alpino
40 years old on Nov. 6, the Tiburtine jacket is an Alpine marshal by profession and has a peace-keeping mission in Afghanistan to his credit. Dea’s roster with luo refereeing, however, is immaculate. With as many Ligurians, between friendly walls, the last third of the total successes: the 3-2 at Spezia on May 3, 2023 (Gyasi, De Roon; Zappacosta, Muriel, Bourabia) and the 2-0 at Genoa the following October 22 thanks to Lookman and Ederson (68′ and 90′).
