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

Aston Villa & Liverpool Competing for Lazio Midfield Duo
Aston Villa and Liverpool are reportedly chasing Lazio midfielders Matteo Guendouzi and Nicolo Rovella. Vital Lazio Duo The Biancocelesti have their highs and lows this season, but the France and Italy internationals have been two of the club's most consistent performers under Marco Baroni. Hence, their starting roles were never under threat, as Matias Vecino, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Reda Belahyane and previously Gaetano Castrovilli have been forced to settle for secondary roles. Aston Villa & Liverpool Vying for Matteo Guendouzi & Nicolo Rovella According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Guendouzi and Rovella have several suitors in the Premier League who will be keen to sign them in the summer. Aston Villa and Liverpool had both enquired about the Italian in January, and they're expected to launch a new attempt in the summer. (Photo by) Moreover, the Reds and the Villains are also monitoring the Frenchman who played under the guidance of Villa boss Unai Emery during his early-career stint at Arsenal. Moreover, the Roman newspaper mentions Newcastle United as another club interested in signing the 26-year-old. The Champions League Factor Guendouzi and Rovella have been playing almost non-stop this season, but as the source explains, Marco Baroni is asking for the two players to empty the gas tank in one last push to secure a spot in next season's edition of the Champions League. Consequently, cementing a place in Europe's elite club competition would enhance the club's finances, enabling Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani to resist tempting EPL offers.
