Pairetto's interview at the Venice-Inter match was marked by a series of refereeing errors that shook both the team and the fans. The match, which ended 0-2 in favor of the Juventus club, was characterized by a foul immediately before Carlos Augusto's goal, which called into question the legitimacy of the goal and the management of the VAR.
The first point of controversy was the error on the contact between Carlos Augusto and defender Sohm, which led to the goal of 0-1. Despite the ball being touched, Pairetto decided to let the match continue, leaving the VAR silent. The referee also neglected to announce Lauberbach's offside, a foul that could have nullified another goal. This lack of intervention has fueled criticism of the international referee, who appears to have managed the match "at will".
Other errors were highlighted in the management of Lauberbach's offside, considered a case of millimetres, and in the evaluation of the contact between Bisseck and Lauberbach, which was considered of little intensity. Helgason's touch on Sucic's right foot was also seen as a "light touch" and not a foul. The referee also ignored Sucic's offside and Diouf's touch on Mazzocchi, making fans feel frustrated at the lack of rigor in decisions.
Despite the controversy, the final result was 0-2 in favor of Inter. VAR was almost unused, with Pairetto keeping the match going without intervening. Pairetto's interview highlighted the frustration of players and fans with the management of refereeing errors, with particular attention to the lack of VAR intervention and tolerance towards contact fouls. The future of the match remains uncertain, but the criticism raised could push the refereeing authorities to review the control procedures and the use of VAR in future matches.
