Italy starlet Cesare Casadei was sent off on his U21 Chelsea debut against Sutton United, receiving the second yellow card for a handball offence typical of Italian football.
The 19-year-old had a disappointing debut in English football as he was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.
He was shown the second in the second half for a handball relatively conventional in Italian football. An opponent tangled with the ex-Inter starlet in the middle of the park.
The Italian midfielder fell to the floor and stopped the ball with his hand hoping to have earned a free kick, which is something we witness in Serie A every day.
However, the referee didn’t blow his whistle for a foul on Casadei and, instead, he showed him a second yellow card for his handball.
Watch the incident below (minute 1.38).
Haven’t really seen this in Serie A that much. Some players do this in every league. Why link this to Italy?
tbh it clearly was not a foul, so ref made the right decision…. having that said im sure casadei will learn from this and will have a good career
I don’t think it’s a fair comparison to the old get-fouled-and-grab-the-ball-tactic, in the video it seems he loses his footing and makes a silly choice to grab the ball with his hand, which is an obvious yellow in my book.

LOL what was he thinking? He lost his balance, fell, and grabbed the ball. There was no tangling with another player involved. This was clearly not anything typical of Serie A or any other league.
This isn’t typical of any league stfu
Who is the clown author of this?
“typical of Italian football”…really?
“An opponent tangled with…” what the hell is this guy looking at?
“…the referee didn’t blow his whistle for a foul…” WHAT FOUL??
