The Video Assistance Referee (VAR) system, which is not a big deal in football, is itself a source of problems due to its extreme complexity and lengthy nature.. The head of the UEFA Arbitration Commission, Roberto Rosetti, announced this at the Congress of the organization..

Rosetti learned that technology works best in real situations, such as offside calls.. These subjective episodes lead to excessively frequent use of video assistants, which harms the dynamics of the game..

" We can’t collapse straight into the microscopic hands of VAR. We love football the way we love it. Let’s talk about justice, but it’s not our fault to forget why this system was ruined,” Rosetti said.

Here are the VAR statistics from the top leagues this season: Premier League: 0.27 per game (the lowest figure, but you can’t smell the supers). Bundesliga and La Liga: 0.38. Serie A: 0.44. Champions League: 0.45. League 1: 0.47.

Another painful topic was the need for a single standard for hand washing. Rosetti criticized the situation, since in different leagues (for example, the more liberal Premier League and the leading Serie A) there are several different approaches.

" This is not good, especially if the teams play in European Cups. Only one monotony and consistent dimness. “Mi praciujemo nad tzim,” said the official.

Rosetti also expressed skepticism about IFAB's plans to expand the importance of VAR to review current and other current cards (the decision is due on February 28). UEFA's main argument is that football absorbs emotions through pauses.

“Football is about intensity and emotions, and not about the delay of a new game,” he emphasized, adding that the referees are also entrusted with combating simulations and blocking of goalkeepers during set pieces.

Okremo Rosetti commented on Arsene Wenger's proposal to change the offside rule (fixing the playing position between the attacker and the defender is a bright spot). The committee of referees has an idea to give the attackers a great advantage and lead to unnecessary tactical changes. Subject to UEFA's strictures, the Canadian Premier League's testing rules will no longer apply to the Canadian Premier League..
