I really don't think that is a 'better comparison'. It's just double standards. A youth team players identity I'd understand maybe shielding - male or female - because that often does happen with people below a certain age in situations that are legal, failed sporting drug tests, racist incidents, etc.
But Juventus women won the Italian league last season and this is, presumably, a first team player. The women's game at the top level (which Juventus are at) calls out for more coverage, more media attention, like the mens game gets - well, part of that coverage is about the negatives as well as the positives. You can't demand more of it but then only expect the positives and not have to deal with the negatives when you do something like a blatantly racist impression.
I can't see any justifiable reason for not naming the female player in this situation - and certainly not comparing it to youth team players as if a senior female player who's in the wrong needs 'protecting' in the same way as a youngster does. When a senior player does a blatantly racist impression like this - not 'accused of' but fully shown to be guilty of - and the story breaks, then the name of that player should be included in the reporting of that story regardless of their sex.
