Napoli manager, Antonio Conte has come out to blast VAR after a controversial penalty awarded in the draw vs Inter Milan. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, there was very minimal contact between Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa and Denzel Dumfries in the box, and he hates the fact that VAR only intervenes when it is convenient.
Conte added that the politics played with the technology will make coaches start to doubt its use.
His words, “What does it mean that the VAR cannot intervene? It only intervenes when it is convenient. If there is an error it must intervene. These incidents change matches.
This thing really pisses me off, as it does all coaches. The VAR must correct the referees’ errors or intervene if something was not seen. We are in a situation where we start to think again that there are ulterior motives on everyone’s part. The referee in these cases must go and see, then at most confirm the decision.”
WOW.
