The referee designator Gianluca Rocchi spoke at the end of year press conference to talk about some of the most discussed episodes of the recently concluded Serie A season. Among the referees of the matches ofInter the missed whistle for the foul had made a lot of noise Sticks in the action of the goal of Frattesi in the 2-1 win against Verona.
“The VAR interventions were less than last year but we can do better, there were days with 9 interventions… It’s not a good message. My goal is to send guys on the field who referee without using VAR or in any case more parsimoniously As a media we have grown and this does not make me happy to set the bar straight again. The referee must think about it don’t make mistakes, otherwise you won’t be a referee. We have fixed 92% of the errors, but I wonder how you managed to put up with so many errors… I think of Inter-Veronafor example: it is a important episode due to a lack of VAR intervention but maybe 15 years ago it would have been a single episode on the field, without the specific weight that exists today. We are not always happy with confirmations after reviews from the field, it would mean that the VAR was missing something in its decision-making process.”
