Admit your mistake! Referee leader Rocky: Juventus handball penalty was a misjudgment, and Orban elbowed the red card

The fourth round of this round of Serie A came to an end, but a series of controversies were left behind, especially the referee who had been questioned many times became the focus of public opinion. Among them, the two controversial penalty in Verona's 1-1 Juventus game were two of the controversial penalty points. In response, referee leader Jane Luka Rocky conducted a detailed analysis and response on DAZN's "Open VAR".

João Mario's handball penalty was a misjudgment

"The penalty was wrong, and for us, it was not a penalty."

"This incident should not be compared with other games (such as Atlanta vs Udinese). Although it looks similar, the situation is completely different. In this incident, the player wanted to use his head to the ball, but the ball hit the arm that was naturally retracting the action. This is not a foul."

"The distance is very close, and it is indeed possible to explore the 'contact point' of the arm. , but the dynamic nature of the overall action shows that this action cannot be punished. This was a wrong judgment. The player did not even realize that the ball would hit him, but just hit him on his arm. "

Orban elbowed the Juventus player deserves a red card. "The correct judgment should be a red card. Orban obviously looked at the opponent and then elbowed him." "

" This is a decision that must be made by the referee on the court, and should not be left to VAR to remind him. Afterwards, he should have reviewed through VAR's sidelines. The two VAR referees only passed it quickly in front of the monitor, and this step was missing. This action completely constituted a red card foul."

"The protest of Juventus made sense. He was right, but we still hope that everyone should pay attention to the words when expressing their dissatisfaction. We will admit our mistakes and require the cooperation of all parties, which is crucial."

Regarding the follow-up arrangements for the referee team on duty

"We have always been very strict in some evaluations. In this game, both the referee and the VAR performed poorly, Even one of our best referees may have times of misperforming performance."

"We will not suspend the referee's law enforcement qualifications due to technical errors, but will only do this due to discipline issues. Just like the coach will choose the starting lineup based on his condition, if I have other referees who perform better, I will ask them to enforce Serie A, temporarily arrange for the poorly performed referees to enforce Serie B, or temporarily arrange for rest. But we will not 'stop' a referee, but only adjust the number of enforcement games, so these two referees will soon appear on the court."
