Overview
- Gianluca Rocchi said forthcoming regulatory changes will likely expand VAR intervention in selected situations, speaking on DAZN’s Open Var.
- He argued VAR should correct clear errors and that its use must evolve so decisions align with modern tools and public expectations.
- Rocchi reaffirmed the validity of Milan–Parma’s goal and praised referee Massimi for spotting Valenti’s contact on Caprile to award an attacking foul in Parma–Cagliari.
- He backed the yellow, not red, for Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s foul on Ekuban in Inter–Genoa after DOGSO checks indicated the criteria were not met.
- He said Pavlović’s goal against Milan was correctly validated using the retro-goal camera, and he voiced support for revising the second-yellow rule along with a new restart-counting tool for referees.
