Boss of Serie A referees: we need to protect goalkeepers so that they are not interfered with in the goalkeeper`s area. The head of the Serie A refereeing corps, Canluca Rocchi, spoke out against interfering with goalkeepers in the goal area.
I don`t want to see situations like in other leagues where there are five players in the six-metre zone.
In other leagues we see up to five players just standing motionless inside the goalkeeper`s box. On the other hand, we also have to protect the goalkeeper and give him freedom of movement. There are some movements that interfere with the goalkeeper, and in this case we can intervene.
I don`t want to see the situations that I see in other leagues, they were critical for us. I speak exclusively about Italian football on our site and, in my opinion, we cannot allow the goalkeeper not to be given freedom of action.
This does not change the fact that there is nothing in the rule book that prohibits a player from standing in the goalkeeper`s box. From now on, we will be very careful when assessing such actions, ” Rocky said.
