Italian Assistant Referee's Open Letter: ‘Penalties Given By VAR After Rocchi Told Them To – Why No Penalty In Inter Milan Vs Roma?'
Italian Assistant Referee's Open Letter: 'Penalties Given By VAR After Rocchi Told Them To – Why No Penalty In Inter Milan Vs Roma?' Italian assistant referee Domenico Rocca wonders why penalties are given after VAR intervention, but not when Inter Milan played Roma. Rocca penned a letter that has been published on He noted that referee-designator Gianluca Rocchi personally intervened in one instance – yet a potential title-deciding incident never went the way of Inter. Advertisement Inter Milan have been left fuming with referees in Serie A in recent weeks. A recent flashpoint incident came in Inter's 2-2 draw with Lazio last weekend. Inter threw away a lead late in the match – and with it, an advantage over Napoli in the league table. Lazio's equalizer came from the penalty spot. Specifically, the penalty was awarded to the Biancocelesti for a handball by Yann Bisseck. Referee Daniele Chiffi did not point to the spot in real time. However, the VAR advised him to have another look on his monitor, where he spotted the clear handball by the German. However, Inter feel that there has been inconsistency in the use of VAR. Advertisement Earlier in the match, VAR had not intervened after Bisseck had wanted a penalty for a shove in the back by Nicolo Rovella. Meanwhile, it is not just in last Sunday's match where Inter feel they have not received decisions from VAR. There have been incidents in matches against the likes of Lecce, Bologna, and AC Milan where the Nerazzurri have felt aggrieved. And then there was one particular episode in last month's loss to Roma. Late Penalty Controversy In Inter Vs Roma Serie A Clash MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 02: Yann Aurel Bisseck of FC Internazionale looks on during the coppa Italia Semi Final match between AC Milan and FC Internazionale at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 02, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) During a Serie A clash with Roma last month, Inter were trailing 0-1 in the closing stages. After a cross into the box, defender Yann Bisseck was yet again at the centre of the action. Advertisement The 24-year-old attempted to meet a flick-on by Marko Arnautovic at the far post. Bisseck was prevented from doing so by Roma defender Evan Ndicka, however. Ndicka had both arms around the German, and wrestled him to the ground with little attempt to play the ball. It did appear to be a blatant penalty in real time. And the Italian refereeing association would go on to admit that the officials should have awarded Inter the penalty. But that's not what happened. Inter lost that match. Therefore, Inter went on to lose against the Giallorossi. Meanwhile a draw would mean that they would currently be level on points with Napoli in the table – rather than trailing by a point heading into the final day. Assistant Referee Rocca: 'Penalties Given By VAR After Rocchi Told Them – Why Not Inter Vs Roma?' Getty Images Italian assistant referee Domenico Rocca wrote an open letter to the CAN (National Refereeing Commission). Advertisement 'I never imagined I'd have to write to my Commission,' he begins. 'The person who taught me how to referee and be a part of the association was Stefano Farina. He convinced me that the refereeing body should be trusted no matter what.' However, Rocca feels that the time has come to speak out. 'We saw in a match between Udinese and Parma a penalty was awarded,' he noted. 'Only because in Lissone [the location of the VAR booth] the supervisor Rocchi gets up quickly from his post to knock several times on the glass for the VAR Paterna and Assistant VAR Sozza (you can hear it in the audio) to get their attention. Advertisement 'In turn, they told the referee to give an on-pitch review. And he correctly awarded a penalty, although the VAR had missed it initially. 'But why, in the match between Inter and Roma, did Gervasoni, supervisor on that day, not give the VAR a 'knock' to award a penalty?' Rocca asks. 'Even the Commission publicly admitted in a meeting of all referees and assistant that they missed a clear penalty in favour of Inter.' Rocca calls this a 'serious error.' 'Which will most likely decide Inter losing the title in favour of Napoli,' he notes.

No More Major Squad Rotation – Inzaghi To Go With Strong Inter Milan Lineups As Serie A Title Race Vs Napoli Back In Play
No More Major Squad Rotation – Inzaghi To Go With Strong Inter Milan Lineups As Serie A Title Race Vs Napoli Back In Play Simone Inzaghi will not rotate the Inter Milan going forward in the Serie A title race with Napoli more catchable than ever. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi was hardly hiding his aims with his starting eleven selection against Torino yesterday. The Nerazzurri had just gone through an exhausting Champions League semifinal second leg against Barcelona in midweek. With many players on the pitch for two hours in that dramatic 4-3 extra time win, Inzaghi had to rest many of them. Therefore, it was little surprise that Inzaghi gave quite a few players the night off against Torino yesterday. Inter Milan were without all of Lautaro Martinez, Benjamin Pavard, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi due to injury. Meanwhile, the likes of Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Denzel Dumfries, and Federico Dimarco were among the players who started on the bench for Inter. No More Squad Rotation From Inzaghi As Inter Chase Napoli In Serie A Table MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 23: Nicolo' Barella of. FC Internazionale in action during the coppa Italia Semi Final match between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 23, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) The likes of Nicola Zalewski, Joaquin Correa, Mehdi Taremi, and Kristjan Asllani all started for Inter. Advertisement And they were among the starts on the day as the Nerazzurri secured three points against Torino. On the other hand, Napoli played the strongest possible starting eleven in their Serie A clash with Genoa. However, they had to settle for a point after a 2-2 draw. Therefore, Inter are now within a point of Napoli at the summit of the table. Accordingly, the Nerazzurri will be well aware that even one more stumble by the Partenopei would be enough to allow them to take back control at the top of the table. If that opportunity comes, Inter certainly won't want to regret passing it up. Therefore, the Gazzetta note, the time for squad rotation has passed for Inter and Inzaghi.

Germany Star Insists Inter Milan ‘100% Believe' They Can Win The Serie A Title Over Napoli
Germany Star Insists Inter Milan '100% Believe' They Can Win The Serie A Title Over Napoli Defender Yann Bisseck insists that Inter Milan still '100% believe' that they can win the Serie A title over Napoli. The 24-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, ahead of this evening's Serie A clash with Torino. Advertisement Inter Milan find themselves at a slightly odd juncture of their season. The Nerazzurri are only three points behind Napoli at the top of the Serie A table. However, there are just three matches left to go. That means that Inter know full well that their fate is not in their own hands as far as their Serie A title defense. There is every chance Napoli won't drop more than a couple points. However, it is hardly a foregone conclusion that the Partenopei will enjoy a flawless end to the season. Even though Napoli have not had the distraction of the Champions League to deal with like Inter, they will still be feeling the mental and physical fatigue from the long season. Yann Bisseck: 'Inter Milan Still 100% Believe In The Serie A Title' MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 23: Yann Aurel Bisseck of FC Internazionale looks on, during the warm up prior to the coppa Italia Semi Final match between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 23, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Inter defender Yann Bisseck gave his thoughts ahead of this evening's match against Torino. It is Inter's third-last match of the campaign. Advertisement Asked if Inter believe the title is still possible, the German replied '100%.' 'Otherwise, why would we bother playing today?' Bisseck made clear. 'We're not in the best position right now,' he admitted. 'Because we have to watch what Napoli do.' 'But we still want to do what we can,' Bisseck insisted. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old gave his thoughts on 'resetting' after the Champions League heroics against Barcelona in midweek. 'Football is always like this,' he said. 'There's always another match.' 'We were very happy after Tuesday,' Yann Bisseck added. 'We had a day off, but then we started to prepare for this match.'
