Daniele Orsato has decided to entrust one of the most expert Italian referees, Marco Guida, to the derby on Saturday evening between Milan and Inter. The choice comes after a start to the championship in which Guida only took charge of three matches: Genoa-Como, Bologna-Turin and Udinese-Lecce. His decisions in recent days have been largely without controversy, except for a particular episode that occurred in the Bologna-Turin final, where the management of a contact between Heggem and Oristanio raised discussions. Guida maintained his position of not intervening on an alleged foul, leaving the decision to VAR, and Orsato defended his choice, claiming it was correct. Despite the controversy, the referee remained in good standing with his designator and received an important assignment in the Champions League, taking charge of the Galatasaray-Barcelona match on October 13, which ended without any major incidents.
For the derby, Guida will be accompanied by Peretti and Perrotti as assistants, Di Bello as fourth official, Mazzoleni at VAR and Camplone at AVAR. The referee has proven to be considered a reference both in Italy and abroad, thanks to his experience and ability to manage complex situations calmly. The intervention of Orsato, who expressed his trust in Guida's competence, underlines the importance of relying on consolidated professionals for the most important matches of the season. With the derby on the cards, fans can expect balanced and professional management from Guida, who has already demonstrated that he is capable of handling the most demanding challenges in European football.
