VAR target of criticism at FC Twente – FC Groningen | Football

sport">Cerny, who would then make the 1-0 and prepare the 2-0, was surprised about the rejection of the goal. “I’m not going to complain, because we won and I have a goal and an assist behind my name, but this is of course special”, said the FC Utrecht mercenary in front of the camera. FOX Sports.

sport">FC Twente coach Ron Jans was clear in his opinion. “We’ve seen the lines, we’ve seen the images, but it should just be a goal. It took 4 minutes 43. But this is just a goal. I don’t understand why it is not so. I am in favor of the VAR, because it may lead to more good decisions, but this is not possible. ”

sport">FC Groningen colleague Danny Buijs was also very annoyed. “Let’s stop this, please. Only allow the VAR to intervene if it is clearly wrong, otherwise let the decision on the field be leading. If we have to wait in the stadium for four or five minutes and then it turns out afterwards that the wrong choice may have been made, that is a bit laughable. ”

sport">Referee Sander van der Eijk explained to the TV camera why the goal was disallowed. “The decision on the field remains leading. Then the VAR will check whether it is clearly wrong or not. The VAR has the ability to draw two lines in 3D. The furthest point is determined at Cerny and also at the defender. When the lines touch – the margin is very small, five centimeters per line – we have all agreed that the too close to call the decision on the field is and remains leading. And that is why this goal has not been approved. ”
