In taking note of the result accrued on the field and also of the arbitration decisions, the rossoblù coach Emilio Longo takes the opportunity to open a wider reflection on the use of the Football Video Support, introduced this year in Serie C and already ended up at the center of controversy for its uniform management. At the “Scida”, two heavy episodes conditioned the game: in the second case, Longo underlined how a yellow card would have been enough, aggravating everything the observation that previously had not been a clear foul on Berra, hit with a knee in the lower parts during an aerial duel.
“Often known – says Longo – that the referees, except for situations of direct red or penalty, are not inclined to review the action, as if not to give themselves a negative judgment. In our case, the FVS had been called for a previous situation, but the will to admit that there was no foul there. Thus important passages are eliminated, and this does not help the credibility of the tool. If we want the FVS to go on, a clear protocol is needed, otherwise it remains a partial and discontinuous support ».
Longo reiterates the need to standardize the criteria. «I don’t think there is bad faith, but it serves willingness to admit errors and review the entire action. In the match with Casertana, without FVS, the referee would probably have extracted the yellow ».
Meanwhile, having archived the race with Casertana, the sharks immediately resumed training at the sports center. As per practice, the group was divided: weakening for those who played more. For today there is an afternoon session, with the head already aimed at the next commitment: Saturday at 17:30, always at the “Scida”, Picerno will arrive.
