VAR in the Serie C play-offs is welcomed by the referees. This is what he assures Carlo Pacificipresident of the Italian Referees Association, spoke on the frequencies of Tmw Radioduring the ‘All C’ programme: “In my opinion it is very important, sharing new technology in the world of football is important – declared Pacifici -. The referees who are in the Can and the various players at a professional level can make a very important contribution to the entire Serie C movement.”.
The Hague number considers the collaborative relationship with the president of the Lega Pro to be fruitful, Marani: “There is certainly a union of intent, also because I knew Matteo Marani and appreciated him as a journalist. He is doing a lot for the League with a lot of commitment and many innovations, there is a common line because football can only grow if all the components of the world of football align.”
There was no shortage of difficulties on the technological front, due to the introduction of VAR in old systems such as those of Series C: “It was difficult and complex, we have been working on this project for two months. We put together the two commissions, the Can di Rocchi and Ciampi. It was also complicated on a technological level, also because the issue of fiber is not simple given that a central place like Lissone cannot be used. We will work on the site, it was complex but we hope that all this can help Serie C in an important way.”.
Taking stock of the season, Pacifici appears satisfied with what has been done, even in the technical department of the third series, led by the designer Ciampi, of Benevento origins: “An impressive job has been done, we held joint meetings in Coverciano between the referees of Serie A and Serie B with the referees of C. Every Sunday the referees of C hold the quarterfinals in Serie B, so they know perfectly how the system works. VAR. At VAR there will be the guys who deal with VAR on a daily basis in Serie A and Serie B.”.
