The words of Gianluca Rocchi

The designator of the referees of Serie A and B, Gianluca Rocchi, è spoke in defense of the refereeing class in the press conference in Coverciano: "The last two days, especially the last one, we slipped on two very avoidable banana peels and I got angry with the boys. From now on forò we don&#39t accept everything anymore: we are good people, the boys are good people. These boys nobody touches them; if the problem is me, I can leave even now".

"On the Var group we are doing a good job, also from the psychological point of view with specific sessions that there will also be today in Lissone,” he added. We have made mistakes and we explain them every week because we want to let people know how we work, to make them understand that behind the mistake there can be superficiality, an error, an incorrect evaluation, but nothing more than that.

So he recoiled: "Have you seen the Rome derby? There'è to put your hands in your hair for the derby: there'was the best in the world and at the level of protests è everything happened. In Salerno there was Guida, a top international, and he almost wasnè t attacked in the tunnel by a member of the club. Can it be accepted? We don&#39t accept it anymore.

"I ask the referees to have another behavior and the sports justice to be tough. Like Uefa does that è tough in its rulings. I want respect for our role. We do not hide if we make mistakes, but no more violence or attacks on referees" concluded Rocchi.
