Di Canio Blasts Penalty Decision In Inter Milan 2-2 Lazio Serie A Thriller: 'It's A Foul 10/10 Times In Midfield' – Adds 'Lazio Penalty Is Stonewall'
Paolo Di Canio feels that a Nicolo Rovella shove on Yann Bisseck in Inter Milan's 2-2 Serie A draw with Lazio should've been a penalty.
The former striker gave his thoughts on Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908. He argued that it was a foul 'ten times out of ten' in midfield, and also said that the Lazio penalty was 'stonewall.'

Inter Milan's Serie A clash with Lazio this evening was filled with drama.
And among this was plenty of refereeing controversy.
Both of Lazio's goals came after a VAR check. The first was initially disallowed for an offside in the buildup before the video showed that it was in fact offside.
Meanwhile, Inter conceded a penalty very late on for a Yann Bisseck handball. However, referee Daniele Chiffi did not spot the infringement in real time, needing a second luck after consulting with VAR.

Meanwhile, there were a couple big moments inside the Lazio penalty area.

Firstly, there was a moment in the first half when Biancocelesti midfielder Nicolo Rovella looked to have shoved over Inter defender Yann Bisseck as he was charging into the area.
Bisseck furiously appealed for a penalty. However, referee Chiffi waved the appeals away. And VAR did not intervene.
Meanwhile, Inter also briefly thought that they'd scored the most dramatic of late winners.
However, a VAR check confirmed that Marko Arnautovic was in an offside position.
Of the first half incident, former striker Paolo Di Canio commented that 'Rovella's push on Bisseck in midfield is a free kick.'
'So why is it not a penalty when it's in the area? I ask myself.'

'If it's a foul, it's a foul,' Di Canio argued.
'In midfield, ten referees out of ten would give that as a foul.'
Then, Paolo Di Canio argued that 'the penalty for Lazio is stonewall, as clear as it gets.'
'He makes himself bigger with his arm,' the former striker argued.
'It's Bisseck's attitude that's wrong. You have to know how to act in terms of defensive tactics, that arm can't be there. Why does Bisseck make that jump?'

Fabrizio Romano confirms Serie A club Como 'have tried to sign' Man United's Antony 'in recent days'
Serie A outfit Serie A have made an attempt to sign Manchester United winger Antony over the past few days, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed. Antony failed to live up to the massive £86m fee United forked out to secure his services from Ajax in the summer of 2022. Advertisement He registered only 12 goals and five assists in 96 appearances for the Red Devils, but a short loan stint with Real Betis in Spain seems to have reignited his form. Antony enjoyed a dramatic improvement in fortunes under Manuel Pellegrini, notching 14 goals contributions in 26 appearances – just five shy of his entire United tally in nearly a quarter of the time. The Brazilian has made no secret of his desire to continue with Betis, who are also working to try and agree a deal with United. Such is Antony's eagerness to return to Seville that he is reportedly willing to accept a 30% pay cut to make the move happen. Advertisement But Los Verdiblancos are not the only club eyeing Antony. He has also been linked to Juventus, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid. A report covered by The Peoples Person earlier this week relayed that Antony is also of interest to Premier League teams, with Brentford and Aston Villa having enquired about the conditions of a transfer. But, they were told that his top priority is Betis. Now, Romano has revealed that a new club has entered the fray for the 25-year-old, Como. Romano wrote on X, 'Italian side Como have tried to sign Antony in the recent days but Brazilian winger is giving priority to Real Betis return.' Advertisement 'Man United are also aware of Antony's preference to continue at Betis next season, no club to club agreement yet.' If United are unable to strike a compromise with Betis, then the Red Devils can rest assured that there will be no shortage of suitors for the forward. Antony is not thought to have a future at Old Trafford. There have even been suggestions that Ruben Amorim will not include him in the club's pre-season squad.
