Coach Marco Baroni’s team played by ten from the 24th minute. The escaping Pierre Kalulu fell to the turf quite willingly after a collision with Alessio Romagnoli, and after a lengthy review the away defender was sent off. “I would like to know what the video referee is good for. Let’s petition to cancel it because it’s causing incalculable damage this season. And not only Lazio,” responded a sharply angry Fabiano.
In the end, Juventus won thanks to the only goal that Mario Gil put into his own net in the 85th minute. “Douglas Luiz punched our Patrick just before the goal, but VAR did not intervene, although it is clearly visible on the footage. The same player had a hard tackle on Rovella, but again nothing happened. They intervened only when Romagnoli was sent off, while the referee must have clearly seen the incident from the pitch,” argued Lazio’s sporting director.
“Douglas engaged in violent behavior. I don’t understand why he wasn’t punished. We feel aggrieved, but we don’t blame the referee, he had a great game. However, it is up to the VAR system to explain why Douglas did not receive a penalty. If I make a mistake in transfers, I get fired by the president of the club. The people who make decisions at the monitor must also bear the consequences. They should be suspended for two months,” said Fabiano.
A vote was even held in the English Premier League this summer, but not enough clubs voted to cancel the technology. However, their representatives agreed at their meeting that the video referee system must be improved “for the good of the game and the fans”.
VAR is now causing great emotions in the Italian Serie A. Before the international break, representatives of AS Roma and AC Milan also complained about it. Milan coach Paulo Fonseca described the match at Fiorentina as a circus, in which three penalties were kicked. Home one, AC Milan two, neither converted. “Any contact in the penalty area is now a penalty,” Fonseca said.
