Serie A, Rocchi’s words
“When things aren’t objective it’s a problem. We have to make two assessments, because there are two touches of the hand. The first in midfield is not punishable, the second is that of Davis. At the beginning the VAR didn’t notice that he had scored, it may seem superficial, but instead it makes it clear how much time passes before the goal. The real problem is immediacy, something immediate is the touch of the hand and the goal in 2-3 seconds. The referees’ problem is that there is no objectivity, not there is a parameter or seconds to count, you try to be logical in what you do. Davis recovers the ball, he does 3-4 dribbles, this is never sincere, if I have to understand from the outside, and I’m not a referee, which of the two is the correct view, I can’t tell the guys today that they have wrong This clip will be shot at the Ifab, but if we remove this rule we are subject to subjectivity and may be more understandable.
I don’t get into political arguments, I’ve always said it to everyone without problems and I repeat it: if someone doesn’t believe in our good faith, I’ll leave tomorrow morning, without half measures. Whether our good faith should be questioned, I won’t go into this topic. I come here and play the audio and the guys make themselves available. It is not pleasant to play the audio when you have made a mistake. If anyone thinks that we are not intellectually honest… our goal is to make as few mistakes as possible. Then we comment on them and make mistakes. And if you were with me for a few weekends you would see how pissed I get.”
Nico Paz’s goal in Lecce-Como
“These decisions should not be sanctioned, these interventions should not be punished. I told the boys to be careful, because they must be clear fouls and yellow or game interventions. The decision here is correct, both of the referee and of the VAR”.
