However, Hans-Dieter Flick’s team could not have lost points on the “Royals” field, if not for the decision of the VAR referees at the moment with the ball of Robert Lewandowski, about which there is still no final opinion in the football community.
This episode was commented on by the sporting director of Barcelona, Deco.
“I don’t understand, but if these offsides are really semi-automatic, then obviously they are not automatic. Someone has to push the button in the end.
It’s like a car – we can’t tell if it’s an automatic or a hybrid based on its appearance alone. It seems that we should have something explained to us about this.
Why are these offsides semi-automatic? I don’t understand. It is still not clear to me whether the yellow boot was ahead or the black one.
We do not want to justify our defeat only by the decisions of the referees. But there is a question: “What happened in that episode?” And where is the error, if it does take place?
If not, nothing happened, let them explain it to us, but they should at least explain something, because we are a bit lost on what semi-automatic offsides are, if they are affected by VAR, and if there really is nothing the referee can do about it.
Football must evolve, otherwise we will be lost in history. If this is a question of semi-automation, which ultimately does not bring any benefit, then we have to go back to another system. Those responsible for this should tell us something.
We say this not because Barca is at a disadvantage, but to improve the situation. If it’s a mistake, we should look for a solution, explain to us why it was wrong and what could happen.
VAR should make the decisions of the referees clearer and make football easier for us, even for those who watch it at home, to understand it and be able to get explanations. A lot has already evolved, and we’ve benefited, to say the least, from the semi-automatic system in several out-of-game situations.
We won’t go into it, but they should explain it to us. I say this not as the sports director of Barca, but as a football spectator,” said the Portuguese official.
We will remind you that the key striker of Barcelona Lamine Yamal did not play against Real Sociedad due to an injury.
