With his side, Toluca, he made a bunch of goals and maybe spal saw that and try to incorporate into the roma playbook. In matter of the corner play, you just need to touch the ball. Is juts like a free kick, if you move it, you have to carry on. Thats the rule. this play was used a lot by an argentinian DT in the mexican football this couple years.

He places it with his hand on the corner spot, leaves and Taddei comes in. How the hell is that legitimate? Ok I’ve watched it 5 times already, and Pizzaro doesn’t touch the ball with his foot.

That's one of the rules of the game when referring to Corner kicks. I think the linesman got it wrong, but it's arguable that Pizarro didn't... move the ball. Touching the ball isn't enough to begin play. It needs to move. A club in Spain took a free-kick like this a week or something ago, and it was fine... Because the ball had been moved clearly (about 2-3 feet). “The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves.”
