Daniele Chiffi will officiate the Milan-Napoli clash this Sunday, and based on his record with both teams, you can understand the decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Milan will be looking to build on their four-game winning streak (three if you only count the league) against Napoli on Sunday. As the Rossoneri are just three points behind the Partenopei currently, it\u2019s a game that will mean a lot for both sides.<\/p>\n

This is something that AIA, the Italian Referees Association, take into consideration when deciding the referee for the game. Yesterday, they announced<\/a> that the 40-year-old Daniele Chiffi is the chosen one.<\/p>\n

Milan\u2019s record with Chiffi<\/p>\n

Taking a look at the numbers, Chiffi has officiated 13 games involving Milan since the 2019-20 season, when he made his \u2018Rossoneri debut\u2019. Milan won 9 of these games, while three ended in draws and one in defeat (Spezia away from home).<\/p>\n

In terms of controversial decisions, the most recent call dates back to the Milan-Udinese clash in the fall of last season. Tijjani Reijnders was handed a straight red card for a supposed challenge on Sandi Lovric, deemed as a denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity.<\/p>\n

However, the replays showed that there was barely any contact involved, while a nasty stamp on Samuel Chukwueze<\/a> was left unpunished. Chiffi did officiate two Milan games after that, though, more specifically the draws against Juventus and Inter (0-0 and 1-1).<\/p>\n

Napoli have a more positive record with the referee, having never lost with him in charge (also 13 games, but 11 wins and 2 draws).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniele Chiffi will officiate the Milan-Napoli clash this Sunday, and based on his record with both teams, you…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-171392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
