The sporting director of the Rome club, Angelo Fabiano, publicly called for the cancellation of this technology after the match.
Marco Baroni’s team found themselves under pressure as early as the 24th minute when Pierre Kalulu made a brilliant sprint to call out a red-carded Alessio Romagnoli for a foul, an incident that angered the Lazio management.
“I would like to know what this VAR is good for. Let’s make a petition for his cancellation because he is causing incalculable damage this season, and not just to Lazio.” Angelo Fabiano told Sky Sport Italia.
“Douglas Louise punched Patrick just before the goal, but VAR did not intervene, although it is clearly visible in the footage. The same player also had a hard tackle on Rovella, but again nothing happened. They intervened only when Romagnoli was sent off, where the referee clearly saw the incident from the field.” Lazio’s sporting director complained.
“Douglas engaged in violent behavior. I don’t understand why he wasn’t punished. We feel wronged, but we don’t blame the referee, he had a great game. However, it is up to the VAR system to explain why Douglas did not receive a penalty.
When I make a mistake in transfers, I get fired by the president of the club. The people who make decisions there also have to bear the consequences. They should be suspended for two months,” dodal Angelo Fabiano.
The match between Juventus and Lazio is the second in a row in which the decisions of the VAR system have come into focus. Before the break in the Italian league, AS Roma and AC Milan also complained about the work of the video referees.
The Milan coach described the match with Fiorentina, in which the referees ordered three penalties, as a circus. “Any contact in the penalty area is now a penalty,” declared Paulo Fonseca.
