Italian referees' chief responds to Claudio Ranieri's accusations: Regret for his words, it was not a penalty

But the president of the Italian referees' association, Antoni Zappi, has responded to Ranieri's fire for fire, contradicting his words.
"The VAR intervened in full respect of the protocol, correcting a clear and decisive error," he told Ansa. "We sincerely regret the statements of Claudio Ranieri, regarding the penalty episode initially awarded for a contact between Pasalic and Kone, then correctly cancelled by the VAR.
Designer Gianluca Roki has confirmed to me the accuracy of the technical assessment that will be published in the upcoming series of “Open VAR”. It was not about a penalty. Pasalic intervenes, but it is the Roma player who, due to the dynamics of his movement, ends up on top of his opponent.
Ranieri is a coach who has always been respected for his correctness, content and sporting culture. And precisely for this, his words have an important weight. However, in this case, the commitment he makes does not match what has emerged from the visuals and technical evaluation.
"The VAR intervened in full compliance with the protocol, correcting a clear and decisive error. I am pleased to emphasize that even the national sports press has recognized the correctness of the decision," said Zapi.
