The Var as an increasingly fundamental element in the game of football. And for this reason, during the summer a training course is ready to start that aims to create "quality" Var specialists, "varists" in jargon, increasingly important for the game, who will deal only with this, with the use of more cameras and viewing angles to have a more in-depth analysis of what is happening on the pitch.

"It will be a course that will concern referees who can become fifth man. We already have four in the role and we want to increase the number - said the referee designator Gianluca Rocchi from the Coverciano Football Museum in Florence -. One day it will only be possible to reach referees and only Var? It's a goal. "

It does not want to be called a team of "varisti" but the goal at the moment is to increase the current number of "four perhaps bringing it to 10 or more, certainly all of quality", all specialized on the Var.

Gianluca Rocchi also highlights numbers that involved game fouls whistled, penalties granted and the use of the Var.

"All very interesting data, just think that thanks to the use of the Var, errors on the field have been significantly reduced - he explained - Fouls, penalties and Var interventions are very much in line with other European competitions, which we must look at as an example. rather aligned with the other main federations because our goal is to create strong Italian referees who are strong internationally. In this phase of the championship an extra foul or two does not change much, we do not change on the Var intervention our line is one comma because we believe it is correct. We made mistakes but a lack of intervention Var must not shift the line of action, of course, it remains an error but basically I am satisfied ".
