At the meeting in Lissone between referees and coaches, Orsato clarified that the contact between De Bruyne and Vasquez in Genoa-Napoli, which led to Napoli's first goal of the season in the 0-2 win in Genoa, was not judged an error. Under the current refereeing line, it was a normal contact in play.

The same meeting acknowledged two mistakes: Zufferli's failure to award a penalty for Kalulu's hold on Rowe, and Marinelli's failure to give a penalty for Caracciolo's foul on Pellegrino.

Orsato promised the approach will stay the same until the end of the season: fewer VAR interventions, but not none, with the aim of keeping the game flowing as much as possible.
