Referee leader Rocky: Nkunku s first contact was a penalty kick, VAR forced the referee
When Milan played against Bologna, the VAR recording of Nkunku falling to the ground twice in a row without a penalty kick had been released. In this regard, the Italian Football Association referee appointed by the head Rocky to be interviewed on the "Open Var" program.
He said: This is a very complicated case, and I will first say the conclusion: it is correct to cancel the penalty kick caused by the second contact. ”
There are two problems: First, no referee in the referee group thought that the first contact was a penalty, and in our opinion, it was definitely a penalty; second, under the premise that the referee group all defaulted that the first contact was not a penalty, VAR only let the referee watch the second contact, and did not play back the entire action process."
"The second contact does not constitute a foul in our opinion, because the Bologna player's foot was already on the ground at that time."
"But this time VAR intervention seemed a bit too "active". What I asked VAR to do was to explain the situation in clear and accurate language, so that the referee could watch the replay with a clear idea. But the final decision should belong to the referee, not how VAR forced him to judge."
"The problem with this misjudgment lies in the initial stage: because the referee and the VAR referee on the spot think that the first contact was not a foul, but we (the referee department) thought that was, so the final judgment was wrong."
"How should this incident be handled? The referee should call a penalty for Lukumi's first contact against Nkunku on the court. Once this penalty is missed, the VAR should stop the game and let the referee watch the entire action process, look at the two contacts before and after, rather than just one of them, because the referee has the right to see everything.
"The correct process should be: the referee calls a penalty on the court, VAR plays the entire action, confirm that the first contact constitutes a penalty, the second does not constitute, and explain the decision to the public clearly. ”

"I ask the coaches to keep working even if we make a mistake. We are willing to admit our mistakes, and I also ask everyone to give us the greatest respect. If there is any situation where behavior is crossing the line, we will take measures. ”
"I am a person who is willing to cooperate, but cooperation is two-way. If only one of us is working together, I cannot accept it. Therefore, when the other party does not show the proper standards of conduct, our referees will become stricter and more fair. ”
