“You criticize me because I have broad shoulders. I am not suspending Di Bello as I have never suspended anyone for reasons other than disciplinary, he will be home for one or two shifts then I need him at most and the championship needs him, if he doesn't go out it's because others have done better than him. We have a group of young guys who go to play important matches, I won't allow anyone to touch them, they are our and your future". The designer said it Gianluca Rocchi about theerror of Marco Di Bello in Juventus-Bologna where he did not award a penalty to the rossoblù for a foul in the area by Samuel Iling-Junior on Dan Ndoye.
Rocchi then clarified the voting mechanism in the event of a check Yes: "I read that we penalize the referee regardless of whether he goes to the VAR, that's not true. If a referee doesn't see something that's impossible to see live and then goes to the VAR and corrects himself in the right way, he's rewarded, not penalized."
Finally, the referee designator launched an appeal regarding the immediate post-match, when, with tempers still high, coaches or managers ask the referees to account for any errors. "It bothers me that at the end of the match we immediately go looking for the referee. What should a referee say if as soon as he returns to the locker room he finds everyone lined up there accusing him? It's clear that he's under stress and he's the first one to be sorry for a mistake, it would be better to wait 24 hours before speaking".
