This Monday he showed up Luis Medina Cantalejopresident of CTAbefore the media, where he insisted on the main lines for this season and we have already discussed MD. Starting with a bigger role for the field referee: “I don’t know if the verb is to regain the preponderance of the field referee, what is certain is that the decision-making ability of a referee on the field should be paramount”
As a consequence of these the VAR it will be a safety net “that assures you that if you have a clear and obvious mistake. And as I insist, the serious and manifest is for everyone. That is not from the VAR we see what hit him in the phalanx of the second finger of the right hand. And that’s not clear.”
Another topic is offside. Here he insisted that it is necessary to clarify those “where the defender hits the ball and it reaches a forward. And it wants to be “more football and less rules of the game. This is in line with our famous move with Mbappe and of which I am clear. It’s not offside for me.”
On the subject of hands They will try “in every way to be clear hands and without doubts. Also that there are no doubts about which are not hands and then which are the hands that disturb us, that make us suffer. All , with us. We will try to reduce the number of sanctions, so that those who are sanctioned do not make too much noise”.
Louis Medina insisted that “What we’re trying to do is the standard is when it’s something clear. A hand where it shouldn’t be and the ball hits him, and the referee is covered and doesn’t see it. That’s what VAR is for .”
You have to run away from the hands that don’t: “But a player running and fanning him on the elbow. What if it gave him! But we all understand that football is different.” But when “there is no doubt that the important thing is the punishment because a mistake in the interpretation of a maximum penalty decides a result”.
about wasting time Luis Medina acknowledges that there was a moment last season “we put our batteries into everything we can do. And it is that a referee cannot explain every decision or every sin that he points out. You have to have speed to play. Because if you take an average of 35 seconds to play. After that time, how do you recover? We tell referees not to talk too much after a penalty. There we will have time”.
Then it is necessary to discount what is necessary: ”Then we all know that in the 89th minute they look hurt … well, extend the discount time. And then we know that before 3 or 4 and now it has moved to five or six. But if in that five or six we see that they continue to lose time, if it reaches eleven it goes to eleven”.
And they will avoid them they are fake time-wasting injuries: “If a player is injured and leaves the field and as soon as he leaves he asks to come on, let him recover a little. We will try to increase the effective playing time. This year we increased it by 32% from November to end of the season”.
