Simone Sozza, from the Seregno section, will be the referee for Genoa-Cagliari. This weekend we return to play, after the third and final break for the national teams of 2024 (there will be another, at the end of March), with the thirteenth day of Serie A: at the Ferraris on the pitch on Sunday at 12:30, with the home team introducing their new coach Patrick Vieira .
Assistants Alessio Tolfo (Pordenone section) and Francesca Di Monte (Chieti), fourth official Ermanno Feliciani (Teramo). But it is at the VAR that Cagliari fans must "worry", because Valerio Marini from the Roma 1 section reappears . A name well known to the rossoblù, given that in several circumstances the referee (since the 2022-2023 season employed only at the monitor and no longer on the pitch) has made very questionable decisions. Among these (not the only ones) a casual handball by Nicolas Viola a year ago in Salernitana-Cagliari, which led to the penalty for 2-2 in full recovery, and another highly disputed penalty for an alleged intervention with the arm by Paulo Azzi in Parma in Serie B in April 2023, which led to Cagliari going into press blackout.
For Sozza, the balance sheet against Cagliari is not very exciting: 1 win (in Serie B with Benevento in 2023), 1 draw and 3 defeats (the last ones, consecutive) in 5 clashes. These are all the designations for the thirteenth day of Serie A.
