The Football Federation and the streaming giant have reached an agreement for new editorial content: the first will show fans how match officials arrived at certain – and often discussed – evaluations of the episodes during the last championship. Also exclusive are the nine finals of the youth championships
Show football from every point of view. It is one of the objectives of the agreement reached today by the FIGC and Dazn for the creation of exclusive editorial content, the first of which will focus on the theme of talks between referees and the Var.
Revolution
—
Through a series of clips, fans will be able to understand how the match officials, referees on the field and video assistant referees in the central Var interpreted the main episodes of the Serie A championship that has just ended. FIGC and Dazn will combine their respective skills: the audio of the talks of the referees and the Video Assistant Referees will be combined with the images of the most controversial episodes to reconstruct the evaluations, interpretations and definitive decisions. It is in fact a radical change in the story of football and in its use by fans, a product that aims to accompany a cultural change in the various targets involved in Italian football and at the same time tell it from a new perspective, training and informing fans, but also the media and insiders, explaining the match officials’ approach, the difficulty of having to make the right decision in emotionally not always easy conditions and comparing the television images to the sensory perception of the episode on the pitch. And finally, also showing the error which is, after all, a part to be considered in the complex activity of objective evaluation of a fact, in any field.
