Dino Tommasi, member of the CAN commission, is present this evening in the DAZN studios for the Open VAR broadcast. This is what he said about the goal awarded to De Ketelaere during Atalanta-Milan: “Excellent performance by La Penna, La Penna decides on that episode on the pitch for a very simple reason: CDK steals time from Theo and does so in a non-foul manner. Then it’s clear that there is a slight support, but he doesn’t have taking away the opponent’s time with a push and the VAR examination was excellent. I repeat, it is absolutely correct.
This is the quote from the VAR Room when the goal was rechecked: “It’s all regular, it’s absolutely nothing. He jumps first, he jumps absolutely early. Check completed, goal regular.”
Fonseca harshly attacked the referee on Friday evening with these words: “I’ve always been silent while everyone talks, but staying silent and watching what happened on the first goal is incredible… There’s no doubt about that episode. I know that being a referee is a difficult job, but I’m tired of always seeing the same things. Against Milan there are never doubts, there is no respect towards us.”
