Football was a question of centimeters until Bologna-Inter arrived. It all started in 1981, with Turone’s goal at Juve canceled for an offside that was not there (remember the telebeam?) And that made the Giallorossi president Dino Viola coin the famous expression “we lost the championship for a matter of centimeters”.
For years it has been the mother of all the controversies (then Ceccarini thought about it in the Ronaldo-Juliano case), but the centimeters have always remained those, even now in the era of the Var. Indeed, more, given that every offside is now examined by Tacchetto by technology.
Then, however, the Fatal Bologna of Inter arrives and at the last minute everything swells: “The previous side foul before Orsolini’s goal was 12 meters forward, it is not fair,” said Simone Inzaghi.
He did it with the usual post -match phlegmmatical anger, and in fact because for the VAR the offside yes and the side fouls right? But still so much was enough to trigger the usual social conspiracy, which is then the exact opposite of the corresponding conspiracy theory of the Marotta League.
In short, everyone will be right, the posterity remain these 12 meters that will school. If they then apply a Scudetto (of Napoli) they will become history, even if football will go on the same. Kilometers.
