The disqualification was expected. Douglas Costa was disqualified for four days for the spit to Federico Di Francesco in the final minutes of the match at Allianz Stadium. A real raptus of madness for the Brazilian Juventus, who in a few moments has first made a clear foul on the neroverde player, and then react badly, with an elbow and a "header" to the address of the son of the coach of Rome. All under the eyes of the referee, who initially punished him with only the yellow card.
But the real crime came shortly after: spit in the face during the quarrel that saw the protagonists of the two far from the game, resulting in direct red for the black and white. Regrettable gesture, for which Douglas Costa was severely condemned by the whole Juventus environment, Allegri in particular: "He was wrong and will be fined", and by the social world, which has harshly attacked him with teasing of all kinds.
The Brazilian defended himself after apologizing, justifying himself with the racist provocations he would receive, according to him. Di Francesco jr denies everything, but what remains now decided by the Sports Judge with the help of the TV test: the Juventus will miss four rounds and will then be available again to the Juventus coach after the break for Juventus-Genoa on 20 October.
He expects to see if Max Allegri will decide to punish him further, in addition to the economic sanctions already announced by the bianconero entourage, depriving him even in the Champions League, or giving the player the chance to find the right clarity directly on the pitch, on the most important stage.
