UEFA has given a reprimand to its referees and, in passing, to the world of football for the incorrect use being made of video refereeing.
Roberto Rosetti, UEFA's head of refereeing, reminds in a UEFA press release that VAR was created solely to correct clear and obvious errors. In this way, the aim is to prevent the use of technology from distorting the competitive essence of modern football.
"Technology is excellent for objective decisions, like offsides, but in subjective judgments, we must be cautious because when we review minute details, we are slowing down the game," explains Rosetti.
The protection of players, the reduction of simulation, as well as the strengthening of cooperation between referees and team captains, are part of this latest UEFA statement on refereeing.
