Pep Guardiola He doesn’t bite his tongue when it comes to giving his opinion on noisy referee judgment in Tottenham-Liverpool since last weekend. VAR did not prove a goal by Luis Díaz was completely legal and could have allowed the ‘reds’ to get ahead on the scoreboard. The video referee did not correct the field referees and the goal did not go up on the scoreboard as the Colombian was flagged offside when he was fully qualified.
Guardiola is clear about what is going on and points out that referees have too much desire for fame. “They have to find a system where the main roles are the players and the game itself,” Guardiola said. “In all countries, not just here. The referees and the VAR are the stars. And the Oscar goes to… they have to take a step back. It’s about the players,” the Manchester City coach added in a preview of their clash against RB Leipzig.
“If they make a mistake with VAR, we have a problem. I completely understand how anxious Liverpool are. after. It could be another club, but the referee bosses will decide what we should do and we will follow them. “That’s it,” said Guardiola.
Today, the refereeing establishment (PGMOL) acknowledged its error and alleged the failure to be a “human error”, explanations that did not satisfy Liverpool, who requested the audio between the referee and VAR of said play in order to -study if the responsibilities can be determined ..
“I trust the people (PGMOL) and we have to apply it as best as possible. I would say that I am not a professional in that, I am not involved and I don’t care. I trust the people. Everyone knows they made a mistake and Liverpool suffered the big consequences. In this type of game it is very important,” commented Guardiola.
