Rocchi: I was wrong…
By Football Italia staff
Gianluca Rocchi has admitted that his management of Douglas Maicon’s handling offence disrupted Juventus’ 3-2 victory over Roma on October 5.
The official was heavily criticised for some of his decisions during the match, which involved the awarding of two contentious penalties and a possible failure to flag the Bianconeri’s winner offside.
And despite reportedly initially standing by his decisions, Rocchi has taken the blame for the 'anomaly’ centring on the Maicon incident.
“My overseeing of the Maicon penalty was anomalous,” the referee has told Il Processo del Lunedi today.
“We can say that my management did not stabilise the situation and has created tension between the players and against the referee.
“Having reviewed the game and evaluated and revised my performance, as I always do, the most scrutiny was rightly placed on that [Maicon] incident.
“This could be key to understanding what has happened after in the game.”
