Ex Inter Captain’s Verdict On Penalty Shout In Inter Milan 2-2 Lazio Serie A Thriller: ‘He Took A Big Risk’ | OneFootball

Beppe Bergomi feels that Nicolo Rovella “took a big risk” with a shove on Yann Bisseck in today’s Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Lazio.

The legendary former Nerazzurri captain gave his thoughts on Sky Sport Italia after the match, via FCInter1908. He also touched on the late handball penalty from Yann Bisseck.

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.

Former Inter captain Beppe Bergomi gave his verdict on the first half incident. “It’s two hands in the back,” he said of Rovella’s shove.

“He took a big risk,” the former Italy international added.

“And if we watch it back at normal speed, it seems even more obvious.”

Meanwhile, Beppe Bergomi also gave his view on Bisseck’s handball penalty, as a former defender.

“The problem is the same as ever,” he said. “It’s not natural to stand with your arms behind you.”

“If he had them down then he wouldn’t have made that movement [towards the ball.]”

“Instead, standing like that, he made his arms wider, and so it was a penalty,” Bergomi said.
