Antonio Damato, former referee and now deputy commissioner of Serie A CAN, spoke to Open VAR on Dazn: “It was a positive weekend, we were coming off a very positive day and we gave continuity. There were some inaccuracies”.
Dimaro’s goal in Inter-Empoli. “I listened to Marelli’s explanation, I agree in that Thuram, even though he starts from an offside position, even if I have no certainties from this point of view… Inter’s goal is part of a new action, to which he gives Bereszynsky start: the ball comes from afar, it is slow, the player is not pressed and this starts a new action. We believe that Inter’s goal is legal and, although Thuram could be in a millimetric offside position, we have no margins intervention by the VAR. The directive in cases of dubious positions is that the flag must stay down. If he didn’t raise it, he considers it a legal position, otherwise he should have raised it on Bereszynski’s clearance.”
The conversation between the referee and VAR is then reproduced on the possible penalty foul on Nicola Zalewski, which Roma coach Daniele De Rossi criticized. Damato: “We feel we can endorse the actions of the VAR; there is an intervention by the Lecce goalkeeper who collides with a teammate and then both collapse on Zalewski. There is no imprudence, we classify it as a clash of play that comes outside of a normal dynamic linked to the goalkeeper’s exit. Very honestly, if a penalty had been called on the pitch the VAR would have made a silent check. We prefer that these penalties are not awarded, without prejudice to the elements on the part of the VAR to support a decision of this type there would have been.
Football is a contact sport, with gray areas in which the field referee intervenes. VAR only intervenes when faced with a clear and obvious penalty. If the referee had blown the penalty on Zalewski, the VAR would have made a silent check because there would have been elements to support a decision of this type, as it is not a clear question.”
Bremer’s hold on Zaccagni in Lazio-Juve. “They are not similar or comparable episodes. There are two things to underline: the excellent performance of Colombo, young and perhaps in the first big match of his career. His focus is on the ball and we see a clear holding back by Bremer on Zaccagni. Where the ball goes doesn’t matter, it’s a nice hold: Bremer shows total disinterest in where the ball goes. We would have preferred a more accurate review of this action. Mazzoleni is one of the most experienced VARs and is a great resource, but it was an On Field Review is required. That the ball doesn’t go there is a no-run reading, because in the end the ball goes there: if Zaccagni hadn’t been fouled, he probably would have been able to play that ball. The withholding is very blatant and evident, just by itself Due to Bremer’s total lack of interest in the ball we believe he was liable for a penalty. The referee could not see it except out of the corner of his eye. VAR had to call him to the monitor.”
The penalty awarded to Torino against Monza. “We feel we agree with the referee’s decision, there is a hold by Pessina with two hands. He is not interested in the ball and the opponent cannot reach the ball due to this foul. The hold will be carried out tomorrow, then c “It is the player’s total disinterest in the ball and we believe we fully agree with the decision.”
