Former player and current commentator Ciccio Graziani spoke on Radio Sportiva about refereeing inconsistencies in the opening rounds of the season, saying: "I've made my position clear since the first round. Whether it's the possible foul by De Bruyne on Genoa's defender or Vlasic's handball—even though I support Torino—AC Milan didn't get a penalty at that moment. Specifically because the referee wasn't asked to review the action to make a better decision on whether the call was correct. From that day on, I said VAR is dead: I've made my position clear. I feel like this year there will be many controversies, because there are other decisions that should have already been highlighted. And we're only in the second round!"

"How did they do it before? We were calling referees to watch replays too often: we kept having them review actions that didn't need reviewing at all. We've seen referees who got the call right, then changed their decision because they were called to watch the replay. Almost every time a referee was called to the screen, they would change their decision. Now it's the opposite: we're not even letting them watch replays anymore! So who makes the final decision? They say: 'No, the referee should be responsible because he's closest to the action, and his decision is correct.' No, that's not right! Because even if I'm close to the action, I might not see clearly or I might make a mistake in a split second: so I should go to the screen because I want to see it again!"

"But what are they doing? They're not calling the referee to look. So in my opinion, this year will bring a lot of chaos and controversy; frankly, we've never experienced a situation like this before. Because now we're calling the referee to VAR too rarely, even in some situations where we should, but they don't. I'm absolutely convinced that in the long run, this management approach will lead to many controversies."
