According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Serie A's referee chief Orsato has affirmed that refereeing standards will continue until June, with fewer penalties, fouls, yellow cards, and red cards.

This approach will continue through June. Standards will not change: no more whistles for minor fouls, and fewer penalties, yellow cards, and red cards. The number of penalties has already decreased due to a significant increase in effective playing time. Today, senior referees held a training meeting with newspaper and TV reporters, commentators, and experts at the VAR Center in Lissone, attended by Lega Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo and FIGC Secretary General Marco Brunelli. Daniele Orsato, head of the Serie A and Serie B referee committee, speaking under the oversight of Domenico Messina, the new technical director of the Italian Referees Association, stated: "I'll surprise you today: we want to collaborate with you. There will be errors, but I will stick to this until the end of the season. I won't have a new idea every week."

Orsato, without a microphone, deliberately displayed a strong personality, then spoke about young referees. He said: "When I took this job, everyone asked for referees who understand football. I know we will lose some things initially, but I care more about what we'll gain in the end. I want my young referees to regain control of the game in midfield. They don't yet have the personality of a Ceccarini (Ceccarini was also present, editor's note), but I want to teach them what I've learned. Young people must have confidence, courage, and the right to make mistakes, and not use the yellow card as a shield when facing coaches and players. I don't want to see those surgical decisions from recent years anymore; that's not football. We're adapting."

No more whistles for minor fouls

UEFA's direction is actually very clear: say no to soft penalties. Regarding specific case examples, Orsato believes that the foot-to-foot contact between Gila and Kolo Muani in the Juventus vs. AC Milan match was not a foul, and the contact between Alai Begovic and Keita in the Juventus vs. Parma match also should not have been penalized. He also considers VAR's non-intervention when De Bruyne and Vázquez made contact essentially correct, because while this action might constitute a foul, there was no clear and obvious error requiring correction on the screen. The Torino vs. Bologna match is different; it was one of the most complicated cases early in the season. Orsato said: "Here we must discuss. For some, it's a penalty; for others, it's not. However, as long as there's no clear and obvious error, VAR should not intervene, and the decision should be left to the referee on the pitch."

Errors

Orsato continued: "Some errors have occurred, but referees, like everyone else, make mistakes, just as goalkeepers, defenders, forwards, and coaches do." He then provided recent examples: Kalulu's pull on Rovella in the Juventus vs. Atalanta match, which is an unacceptable error in the VAR era. In the Frosinone vs. Fiorentina match, Dragusin kicked Montrisi's knee but no penalty was given; in the same match, Jimenez's violent conduct against Bracaglia also went unpunished with a red card; in the Coppa Italia match between Fiorentina and Pisa, Caracciolo continuously pulled Pellegrino in the penalty area, which the referee team considered a clear penalty; Vlasic extended his arm in the Torino vs. AC Milan match; and Caqueret's serious foul on Breshgi in the Como vs. Parma match did not result in a red card.
