Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that he has had enough of VAR. This is coming after his team’s penalty decision was overturned in their 1-0 defeat to Everton on Friday.
According to him, his frustration has been building up for a long time and he is done accepting the obviously wrong decisions from the refs.
He added that the decisions affect a lot of people, jobs and most important, football clubs, so the mistakes cannot be allowed to continue.
His words, “This has been building up. Enough is enough. Today I had enough. We’ve had many of them that no one explains.”
“It affects a lot of people, our job and most important our football club.”
“On the pitch performance-wise we were the better team, we controlled the game and we had some opportunities and openings. We had a clear penalty that was disallowed somehow and then we score an own goal.”
“The penalty is clear, those decisions have been made after, I don’t know how or who by, we cannot see their faces to explain it. It’s the second time in two weeks.”
“I can see the images 20 times and I don’t get it.”
“Errors are part of football, we conceeded an own goal that defined the game at the end. We didn’t create enough against a team that is well organised, we lacked clarity in the final third.”
“We need to go through the disapopintment and focus our energy, the semi-final is more than crucial for us. I don’t want to use any excuses, I understand the protests.”
On protests, “We need to go through the disapopintment and focus our energy, the semi-final is more than crucial for us. I don’t want to use any excuses, I understand the protests.”
