Inter-Juventus, Rocchi: “An excellent day for the referees”

“An excellent day for the referees”. The designator of the referees, Gianluca Rocchi, who spoke to ‘Radio too Sport’ on Rai Radio1, expressed himself in this way after a day of the championship seasoned with the usual controversy over the decisions of the whistles. In the spotlight, in particular, the penalty awarded to Juventus in the match against Inter. “We do not back down in the face of any errors, however, I am absolutely satisfied with yesterday: the guys had a really good day, we are witnessing great matches and it is partly thanks to our guys. This year with a absolutely competitive championship and with the public it is more difficult for the referees to referee “, says Rocchi.” We made the choice to focus on a young group, yesterday we had Mariani and Massa who are international but they are two growing guys and I’m happy with how they have approached the matches and I hope they continue on this path, we must not give up an inch “, the designator continues.” We will make mistakes, but it is important to understand that Italian football also needs new, strong, structured referees who use well the Var, a fundamental tool. But I want and expect them to decide on the pitch, and that’s what they are doing. I will defend them until the last day I am here ” , he reiterates. “The Var has brought us indisputable benefits. The Var has brought much more justice to football, there are practically no more irregular goals for offside. The mechanism is to be oiled and will still have a great development, I am convinced that we will have a different Var in the future. I repeat, I want referees to return and referees on the pitch. The referee who decides on the pitch is a guarantee for everyone “, he says again.
