“I’m not disappointed. I’m relaxed, I’m calm, I don’t want to say anything bad. Everyone who watched the match will feel disappointed. It’s unbelievable, it’s ridiculous, it’s hard to accept something like that. In the FA Cup semi-final two weeks ago it was a handball and not a penalty and the referee didn’t check the phase on the monitor. VAR has ruined English football. It has damaged the image. Aston Villa players and fans did not understand why our goal was disallowed. They said it was a foul and if you see what happened if we go into every phase like that it will be a foul and we wouldn’t finish the game with 11 men. We can talk about performance, we can talk about position, we can talk about many things about football, but these kinds of decisions hurt the games“, said the Argentinian coach.
Pochettino: ???“VAR damaged English football for me, damaged the image of football”.
“It was a goal. It’s unbelievable and ridiculous”.
“Two weeks ago against Man City, it was handball and it was not a penalty…
