Ranieri: The rules clearly VAR should not intervene at the time to cancel the penalty, but Atlanta performed perfectly

May 13th, in the 36th round of Serie A played in the early morning of this morning, Roma lost 1-2 away to Atalanta. Roma coach Ranieri attended the post-match press conference. In the 63rd minute of the game, the referee awarded Roma a penalty, but VAR later intervened and canceled the penalty. What do you think about this?

There is a football rule: If the referee awards a penalty for a player's lower body contact, VAR cannot intervene. I don't want to tell if this is a penalty kick, but the video replay is clearly visible, Passalic did touch the knee of the Roman player (Conne). The referee could choose not to award a penalty at that time, but since he made the decision, VAR should not intervene. I also want to ask the referee leader, Rocky, whether VAR can intervene in this case? This is not an obvious penalty error from the referee, so VAR's intervention drove me crazy. You cannot change the rules at any time, either it is a VAR intervention error or the rules have changed. Referee Soza? He didn't explain it to me, and I didn't deserve it. What does slight contact mean? Do we still need to use a scale to measure it? VAR shouldn't have intervened at that time, not slight or minor. However, if the penalty kick gave us a 2-1 lead, maybe the opponent would score four more goals later.

What do you think of this game? Roma currently ranks sixth in the Serie A standings, falling behind fourth place with the last two league rounds left this season by 1 point

Atlanta's performance is amazing, they are the pride of Italy. Both teams have a chance, the opponents take control of the game, but we know that they can be very lethal when they launch an offense like this, and we are ready. Before the game I told the players that we must fight for ourselves and work hard until the last second. The result was not important, we played a close match, and both sides fought from the beginning to the end.

Sulerman Kakari scored the winning goal for Atlanta after coming off the bench, I really regretted that when I coached him in Cagliari in the past, I told him to shoot more.
