It was a debut in Serie A to be framed by Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputiwhich on Sunday officiated its first match of the first division at the Mapei Stadium between Sassuolo AND Salerno: 5-0 for the hosts who left without controversy, with the right decisions and a firm pulse of the 32-year-old Tuscan, who saw well – as confirmed by VAR – even on the occasion of the penalty awarded to the hosts in the closing of the house in the first semester and built by Pinamonti.
No problems with the players on the field or the coaches. “But just talk about it, because in doing so we are the first to point out that there is a difference. The truth is, nothing changes, period“said the nerverde coach after the game DionysusWhile nicola he interrupted, understandably dissatisfied with the grenade test: “From the bench I was busy just seeing what my team wasn’t doing“In short, an arbitration that operated under the radar, which is the best testament to a good job: the less you notice, the better.
Class ’90, born in Livorno, with a degree in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Pisa and a master’s degree in Sociology from the University of Florence, Caputi did the classic apprenticeship: 5 years of the D series (2015-2020), then the debut in C on November 8, 2020, a in B in October last year at Cittadella-SPAL and, finally, promotion on July 1 of this year to Serie A referee, premise of his call-up to Sassuolo-Salernitana yesterday. The judgment of the designator Rocchi can only be excellent, given the performance shown: two yellow cards, no red, 18 fouls whistled, 4 offsides, in addition to the successful penalty. All this always close to the action, as Tuscany has very high parameters in physical tests.
“Referee or referee? You decide, it makes no difference to me – answered a specific question in the evening, guest of Domenica Sportiva – All that remains is the emotion of a debut that every referee has dreamed of since the beginning of his career, which I have cultivated for 16 years and today has come to fruition. It was wonderful, for the atmosphere that existed throughout the game and in the stadium. The fans received me very well, in part it was a party. What do they say about referees on TV? It doesn’t cause me any tension. I am pleased to hear the judgments that can be expressed about my work, to understand if there are any ideas to be taken into account to improve. But I wouldn’t talk about pressure“.
Caputi does not hide that refereeing is not always easy, given the episodes of violence that are often news in the smaller series and the insults sometimes directed at women who chose to dedicate themselves to this activity: “And so. It is one of the problems that we experience in our association on a daily basis. And with these, the episodes of violence against younger referees. Lucky for me, it always went well, I got away with some insult. Today I was so focused on the race that I didn’t hear anything. I just heard the girls calling me from the stands and I was very pleased“.
Some scenes lived in the first person were understandably with her: “When you’re young, you don’t even have the clarity to understand why you get a bad sentence from people who could be your parents or your grandparents. When there’s that rude scream from that person trapped in the net who’s mad at you and you don’t even know why. Just because you’re following your passion, you’re committing to something and on Sunday morning you’re there after you’ve given up on something. It’s hard to understand, but it helps to grow. I hope for a world where we culturally walk towards the acceptance of the referee“.
About the models”currently the reference is Frappart at an international level – explains the 32-year-old Tuscan – But I also like to remember Carina Vitulano, a former Uefa observer who follows us for the technical part in Italy. Among the males? There are many, but I would tell you Orsato who will represent us at the World Cup“Caputi doesn’t mind all the hype surrounding his Serie A debut, including some attention to his look:”It’s nice and right to talk about it when a woman does something, because it can make more and more women follow that team. If the price to pay is someone pointing out whether I smile or not, that’s fine.“.
