Finally the Serie A referees can speak. Daniele Orsato he said in an interview with Corriere dello Sport: “My children watch Messi and Lautaro, I grew up following Agnolin. Personality, authority, standing. Other times: Gigi taking Maradona’s arm wouldn’t be possible today. De Rossi was someone who gave you a hard timebut if you met him outside and had a chat you would discover a different guy… Today’s footballers are easier to manage. Mourinho’s Inter, the one who won the treble, had Cambiasso, Stankovic and that marvel of a captain, Zanetti. I go to schools to teach rules education and I always lead by example. Zanetti told me: “Orsato, don’t worry, even if you made a mistake, continue along his path”. I miss him, but also Paolo Maldini and Totti.”
INTER-JUVE 2018 – “I have nothing to add to what I explained on Rai. A mess broke out over a photo, the subject portrayed wasn’t even my brother one thousand percent. Apart from the fact that my brother doesn’t follow football, he is passionate about motoring “.
MOURINHO – “Remember Chiffi’s words. None of us start out prejudiced, ever: we have other thoughts, other worries. The biased referee is absurd. Former referees working in club teams? There are good people: Maggiani at Juve, Schenone at Inter. And then Bergonzi, Saccani on TV”.
VAR – “I was among those against the introduction of technology because I thought it would take away and not add, I was very worried. Rosetti, our project leader, Rizzoli and Rocchi convinced me. Today I must say that I feel much more serene. When I have Irrati at the Var I relax, has a tone of voice and confidence that instantly calms you. The other day in PSV-Sevilla in the Champions League he told me decisively that there was a touch of hand, factual, overrule and goal disallowed. Does my name intimidate video assistants? It’s not like that, not anymore, if it ever was. First Rizzoli and then Rocchi pushed this button a lot and today there are young people in the video who don’t look at the name, the career, they just intervene. We can and must only respect the protocol. Does interpretation still reign supreme? I do not agree. It is true that the regulation favors discretion, but that is what we are referring to. We have excellent referees. Duties, Massa… Massa is a great referee. If we do well, we also lend a hand to the younger ones. Being part of the Can doesn’t just mean whistling. Am I studying to make shoes for designer Rocchi? But please… I am at your complete disposal. I’m very good. I will do what they tell me and I can guarantee that I am not thinking of anything else. Today I’m not interested in refereeing politics, in the future I don’t know. On the pitch I’m less touchy than off. Orsato, Massa, Doveri, we have broad shoulders. I feel bad when critics question our good faith. Doveri and I come from the same school. As well as Valeri, Mazzoleni… The school of Mattei and Collina. None of us play football well. In the VAR room there are people who have directed hundreds of matches and at all levels, I don’t see this need to include former players. On a deviation or play I always rely on the assistants, who are specialists. According to protocol, Bijol’s one in Empoli-Udinese is a deviation, it is played when the defender is willing to intervene. How would I have rated theMaignan’s foul on Ekuban? They did well on the pitch. The phone remains turned off, the VAR is enough for us.”
