Var leaves no one indifferent. Some hate him, others defend him to death. However, the, It cannot be denied to everyone that technology in football has a very great potential for improvement. Video refereeing has arrived in stadiums relatively recently and may continue to develop in the coming years. In the last few months there has been a lot of controversy about this and They have proposed from Germany a revolution that will completely change this sport as we know it.
The protagonist in this case is The president of Borussia Monchengladbach, Who spoke after his team’s match against Bayer Leverkusen. The manager complained that only the actions of the team led by Xabi Alonso were reviewed, which ended up winning a penalty kick at 101. Despite this, Rainer bonhoeff claimed that he was not carried away by the frustration of defeat when criticizing refereeing: “I’m not saying that because of what happened, but the match is a good example.”
The president put on the table a replacement for the current VAR: That he will stop intervening of his own free will, as he is doing now, so that it is the clubs who decide when he should enter to review a procedure. Something similar to what happens in tennis with the ‘Hawk-Eye’ is that It will be the coaches who will ask for these ‘challenges’ so that the video referee can enter.
Less responsibility for referees, milliseconds for teams
The fact is that with this new standard The pressure on the faculty will be removed and the responsibility for reviewing the plays will fall directly on the teams. The video is often criticized for not getting into some plays, but those discussions will end with this new action. “You can avoid doubts with these “challenges”. As a club , you are in control and the fans will accept that.”According to bonhoeff.
The rule will be that each team has One or two orders per order. In the event that they are right in their claim, they will retain the possibility of requesting a VAR intervention in another step, but if they make a mistake, they will lose it. A system similar to that of basketball or American football.
What will happen if there is injustice and the team has no ‘challenge’ left? “Hard luck, you had your chance”, Assures the head of MGladbach, that UEFA and FIFA are calling for you to try this experience now.
