Last year's Paulistão faced significant scrutiny over officiating issues, and ongoing whispers suggest that the discussions around referee decision-making in this newly-started season might eclipse those had in previous years. Fans are left wondering if interpretations around the usage of VAR will lead to a season filled with more controversies over penalties, red and yellow cards.
