According to the Guardian, the difference is where the push was

Apparently if you push in the face it's violent conduct (which is why he was sent off, cos the ref thought it was a push in the face), whereas if you push in the chest it isn't.

Maybe that's why ZZ butted that Italian in the chest, hoping to convince the ref it wasn't violent conduct cos it was below the neck
