The mistakes of VAR is down 80% this season to Premier Leagueconfirmed Howard Webbdirector of the referee association of the English competition.
This is the fifth year of application of the VAR in Premier League and the first after the clubs decided to vote on its elimination last summer, with an absolute majority in favor of keeping it (19-1), but with improvements and changes to the protocol.
Webbwho commented that expectations were not properly managed at VAR and that it was unrealistic to think that all football mistakes would be eliminated, he ensured that an independent panel of former players concluded that in the seven days of the championship played, only two football mistakes were made. VARfor ten since last season at this same point.
One of the most controversial mistakes happened in the match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in Chris Kavanagh kicked out Bruno Fernandes for an entry on James Maddison and the decision, wrongly, was not overturned. Finally the Portuguese did not have to deliver the suspension.
“When we made the audio public, you could hear the assistant referee saying “it’s 100% red”, and from his angle it looked like that, because it looked like he hit it with the studs, but then there was another angle they showed on “Sky Sports” and then I said “they’ll reverse it,” but they didn’t find it disappointing that they didn’t correct it because it was clearly a mistake, in my opinion slipped and hit the side of his boot, without a cleat .
According to Webbthe speed in the use of technology is improved and it is commented that the interventions of the VAR have become only 25 from about 70 seconds on average.
