Controversy in Italy: Designer Rocchi influenced the Napoli-Inter referee

Controversies about refereeing in Italy have intensified. In addition to the claims by the teams, fans or opinion leaders, that the verdicts of the matches are being predetermined, the "Le iene" program thought to add fuel to the fire.

An active referee of Serie A, spoke on the condition of anonymity, stressing that the system of judges has serious anomalies. According to him, in many cases, mistakes made on the field are not corrected by the VAR system.

Moreover, there are tendencies that in order to justify the decisions, a specific selection of images is made that are shown to the public.

According to him, at least 5 arbitrators and assistants are following legal paths to sue the Association of Arbitrators and the Arbitrators' Commission, while the evaluations depend on the political dynamics that risk falsifying the championship.

One of the current judging controversies in Italy is related to the Super Cup final, where Inter won against Napoli. According to the media, during the break of the match, referee designer Gianluca Rocchi, went down to the referee's room, where he scolded the main Rapuano for the way he was refereeing.

That episode also brought the change of judgment in the second half, no longer allowing physical play. From this situation, Simeone's two yellow cards came, in the span of five minutes, which affected the Napoli game.

The Association of Referees was also disappointed with the work of the main referee, while the president of Naples, De Laurentiis proposed the creation of a table, where the decisions of the VAR system will be better managed.
