Former Serie A star hits out at VAR and referees: ‘It’s a mess’
Ex-Fiorentina and Milan star Riccardo Montolivo complains that VAR has ‘more power’ than on-the-field referees: ‘It should be the other way around, like this, it’s a mess.’
Italian referees are under increasing pressure as protests from teams and coaches have been mounting in recent weeks.
On Wednesday, Napoli complained about a disallowed Rasmus Hojlund goal and a penalty kick given to Verona, but controversy continued in the evening with more controversial VAR’s penalty kicks decisions in Lazio-Fiorentina.
