Referee Manager Gianluca Rocchi Explains VAR Protocol & Controversial Goals: Pulisic and Udogie Cases

Gianluca Rocchi, referee manager, expressed himself as follows to DAZN when commenting on Pulisic’s goal against Genoa, specifying that the VAR audio of the episode will be released and commented on in two weeks: “It went as I expected. Since we started this carried out with the VAR protocol, we always treated all handballs in the same way: if there is a television certainty about the handball we intervene, if there is no certainty in the images all the episodes were treated in the same way. I realize that it is difficult to accept the decision on Pulisic’s goal because it leaves doubts as it left us. I repeat: I wouldn’t be stupid to say otherwise, but the important thing is that whoever works at the VAR monitor seeks the truth to the end scrupulously and meticulously, but if you don’t get to a point where the truth is 100% you have to leave the decision to the pitch. Even in the case of Udogie’s goal in Milan-Udinese the controversy was understandable, but the reasoning was the same: where you don’t find the truth you can’t go by sensation.”
