Six match officials for every game in Serie A

Serie A will be the first league in the world to introduce 6 match officials for every game. There'll be:
- one on the pitch;
- two assistants, one on each touchline
- one behind each goal;
- and one between the two benches.

The big change is that there are now behind the goal officials. Will this make any difference? What kind of perspective can you get from behind the goals? Will it help with goal-line decisions?
hmm

Conte should apply for a job as one of these behind the goal refs. After all, he's not going to be doing anything on matchdays for a while.

Doesn't matter as shown in Europa league, unless the other five referees actually make a decision when it matters nothing will change. The Europa league referees behind the goal never call anything even when there is clear penalties/dives or hand balls.
