Representatives of Serie A clubs met with the Italian Association of Referees, where they discussed changes in approaches before the trial. The main respect was given to VAR robots, the interpretation of contacts between players and the recognition of penalties.
As reported by Football Italia, referees are advised not to referee the match through minor skin contact and not to award penalties for minimal damage. We strongly speak out about the situations at the penalty area, so that the judges should more carefully assess the nature of the contact.
At this hour of watching episodes, it is not possible to rely on repeats in the advanced mode. Referees can ensure the speed of the players' movement and the strength of contact, assessing the situation in the context of the episode.
VAR, in his own right, is guilty of making even more concessions when it comes to the obvious concession of the head referee. This approach can reduce the number of steps and make matches more dynamic.
Even before the start of the season, the referees decided to allow teams to lose more money and not to record serious losses without sufficient support.. Particular respect is given to fighting at the penalty area and the number of penalties.
The statistics of the first 50 matches of the championship were revealing - during this period the referees awarded more than five eleven-meter kicks.
President of the Serie A League Ezio Simonelli noted that the new approach has already had a positive impact on the number of active playing hours. Suddenly, the functionary realized that other aspects of the new system would still require further evaluation.
