TO TMW Radioduring Maracanathe former referee intervened Claudio Gavillucci. And he spoke about the moment of the Italian refereeing class: “Difficult week. The start of the championship serves to adjust the aim. The thing that worries me are the explanations that are given. At the beginning of the championship we need to clarify things or we won’t understand anything anymore . I heard Gervasoni at Open Var on the case of the penalty not given to Roma in Monza, which is now an objective thing but it wasn’t like that for Roma. Giving the explanation that it wasn’t a pest means walking into a dead end where you risk getting hurt. The less cataloging is done, the less discretion is given, the more clarity becomes and coaches, players and fans understand you.
It was a review episode at least. If we take away the fact that there is a need for uniformity of judgment, as far as I’m concerned that type should never be a penalty kick. Two players running towards the ball without looking at each other but looking at the ball is never a penalty for me. But if they are codified as they actually are today, those penalties must be given. This is an entirely Italian thing, we are the country that decrees the most penalty kicks. In Monza it is Aureliano who has decided that it is not a penalty, not La Penna. If the referee had gone to see, he would have given it. What remedy should be made to the VAR now? I would make the call of the teams, and the call of the VAR for a coach must not be seen as an error“.
