In the big conversation that has erupted in the last few days around VAR and on the occasion of the big mistake of the referees in the match between Tottenham and Liverpool, entered the Maurizio Pochettino.
In statements he made ahead of the match with Burnley, (7/10, 17:00), their coach Chelsea he said that we trust the car but not the driver, adding that it might be better to take a step back in terms of implementing VAR, as this would make the situation simpler and easier.
What the Chelsea coach said in detail:
“I trust the car, but not the driver. For me, it’s about simplifying the situation. From my experience, I have understood that we need to give more power to referees. To trust their judgment and to respect their decisions.
It’s different when you decide live or with the help of VARs. Many times, those who know about football, understand that things are not exactly as they appear on the replay. We have to keep VAR for offsides and the goal line. Also, if there is any unsportsmanlike behavior. Let’s trust the referees. Perhaps taking a step back will help us make the situation easier and clearer.”.
