It's no coincidence, of course. Doveri is well known as someone who doesn't give many cards and prefers a talk instead of issuing a punishment, unlike Massa or Maresca who give 6-8 yellows per match. With an average of 2.0 yellows per game, he's the serie A referee who gives out the fewest yellow cards this season, while in the previous two seasons he was also among the few referees who handed out only 2-3 yellows per match.
That being said, I haven't seen a video of yesterday's incident, and I trust you that it was a situation that warranted a yellow. I still won't dive into "Marotta controls everything from refs to Santa Claus and Elon Mask" theory which is so popular around these parts, because that theory is so Inter/Napoli/Roma/Milan fans' conspiracy from our winning eras.
so you're confirming that it was a coincidence that instead of talking to vlahovic, who was constantly abused and called a gypsy by the atalanta crowd, he chased him down and instantly gave him a yellow, and left the insults out of his report? it's also a coincidence that he and his var ref ignored the fact that dzeko stepped on mds's foot and confirmed the unjust penalty? it's also a coincidence that he was carrying an inda labeled backpack? it's a coincidence that every game, the whole inda squad is routinely protesting, while the rules are clear and only the captain is supposed to talk to the ref? yeah i know who's inda's captain, he's still not supposed to lose his mind, be aggressive, shout at everyone on a daily basis. fuck me, he once threw the ball at the ref, and nothing happened.
i get that this narrative reminds you of other narratives. but deliberately ignoring the shit load of evidence just because of this is simply inexplicable. just open your eyes, there are double standards in italy. it's a corrupt country, always has been, and no, it's not a coincidence that every important position is filled by them, from fifa president to the head of the senate to prosecutors. again, just connect simple dots.
