Cambiaso's naivety against Parma comes at a high cost. The Juventus full-back was quick to apologise after his dismissal, but now he has to face the consequences of his actions.
The Sports Judge has decided. Cambiaso will miss the Derby d'Italia against Inter on the third matchday "for having, in the 38th minute of the second half, with the ball not in dispute, struck an opposing team player in the face with a hand".

Referee Marcenaro had no doubts: direct expulsion and Cambiaso straight to the locker room. Fortunately for Juventus, the gesture did not have consequences and the class of 2000's apologies arrived immediately after the final whistle, but the naivety will still result in a fine.

"I am not a violent person; in my life, I have never raised my hands or done anything like that. Today I made a mistake and I want to apologise to my teammates, all the staff, the company and the fans - Cambiaso wrote on Instagram after the red card -. It was a bad gesture that does not belong to me and I am ashamed of it. In my life, I have made mistakes and I have always learned a lot from each one: I will also learn from this one, to become a better person. Forza Juve, until the end".
The penalty is heavy and will deprive Tudor of an important piece ahead of the clash against Inter on the third matchday, but the case can already be considered closed. Immediately after the debut victory against Parma, the Juve coach revealed that the player will be fined and there will be no further consequences.
“I didn't talk to him. He made a blunder and will be fined. He is a boy who is constantly growing mentally, he wants to exploit all his potential which is huge. Players like him are rare, I see him focused, eager to grow. He is growing well in defence, in attack he has his own things that are special. He is important to us”.
