Live broadcast, October 9th news Roki, the head of the Italian referee, talked about Pulisic’s handball suspicion, saying VAR would not intervene without a clear picture. This is the rule.
In the 8th round of Serie A, Milan defeated Genoa 1-0 away. However, Pulisic’s winning goal was handball suspected, but VAR did not intervene at that time. Rocki explained: “Since we used VAR technology, we have been treating all fouls in the same way. If VAR playback can determine handball with confidence, we will intervene. However, if there is no clear picture and it cannot be clear whether it is handball, VAR will not intervene. We treat all possible fouls in the same way.”
Rocky went on to say: “I realize that it is hard to accept the decision that Pulisic scored effectively, because it leaves doubts to us. But I repeat that the most important thing is that those who operate in front of the VAR monitor must completely determine the truth. If you cannot determine 100% of what the truth is, you must accept the decision of the referee on the spot.”
Rocky also talked about similar controversial goals in Milan’s match against Udinese last season, “There was also controversy at that time, which is understandable. But the referee’s reason is the same. If you can’t determine the truth, you can’t intervene to judge.”
