Rocchi had a wrong mental approach

Juventus- Rome could be a good footbal match, it was instead a monument to narcissism referee. There are some unwritten rules that should govern the decisions of the umpires, and that in this case have been widely disregarded.

  • When in doubt, do not whistle – Rocchi has done the opposite in relation to the first penalty, he did not know what to decide but he chose the option more punitive.
  • Be accepted by the teams – Paolo Casarin, when he was head of the referees, he always said to remember that the referee was once invited to officiate, so it must be flexible even if right.
  • Use common sense – this means using psychological dimension in a professional manner. If a player cover the face to avoid a ball in the face is a reaction absolutely obvious and acceptable. If the referee did not understand it’s a serious problem.

I do not think Rocchi had a psychological subjection against Juventus. I am convinced that he wanted to emphasize in the wrong way  its role as a major decision maker. In essence, his performance was poor because he wanted to prove to be more important of the players and to be able to determine the outcome.

On the other hand since the beginning of 2000, the referees have no psychological training. I thought that this was mainly Calciopoli unfortunately it is not: the question is that there is no interest in promoting referees psychologically dskille, of course there are exceptions but these remain such.
