Orsato at the Sports Festival: "Refereeing errors? The repetition bothers me"

At the start of the season we made some mistakes, which shouldn't be made, and I expected even more. It's football and not the Play Station, there have been situations in which we made mistakes, see Rowe held back by Kalulu in Juve-Atalanta: in those cases the VAR would have helped." Daniele Orsato, head of the National Referees Commission for Serie A and Serie B, said this at the Trento Sports Festival.

"The reiteration of the mistake bothers me more than the mistake itself. When the referees do well it's their credit, but if they do badly it's my fault: it's important to take responsibility and this applies as much to me as it does to them.

You have to know the game and the player. Read the games.

Knowing that if a certain player catches the ball you have to run ahead or make a certain movement. And it also helps in the overall management of the race", Orsato said again.
