Wolverhampton manager Julen Lopetegui of Spain lamented his side’s loss of victory against his side and a 2/2 draw with hosts Liverpool on Saturday night in the third round of the FA Cup for the two sides to play each other the revenge .
Wolverhampton managed to emerge victorious, but the referee disallowed a goal scored by Totti in the 82nd minute for offside, without resorting to the video assistant technique due to lack of final footage. The decision was checked, but according to the “ATV” station, there was no correct angle for the camera through the “mouse” technique to decide whether or not there was a leak.
Lopetegui expressed his belief that the goal was correct after reviewing the on-screen clip. “I can’t say anything – said Lopetegui -. We spoke to the referee. He was very silent, but he listened to us”.
He added: “It’s a shame because there is mouse technology today. He tried to explain the matter, but it wasn’t entirely clear. I think the lens is correct through the camera that I saw in the replay.”
“I didn’t know that, it’s a shame,” he said, when told there was no appropriate angle available for the video assistant referee.
“I’m disappointed and frustrated. The reaction is a bit frustrating because I was very proud of the players. They deserved more,” he said.
