[Now Sports]The Premier League’s Football Directors will fight back on behalf of the competition, criticizing clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool for issuing statements questioning VAR this season, which does not help the progress of the matter. “It’s unhelpful for them to issue a public statement when we are in regular communication,” director of football Tony Scholes told British media on Wednesday. “We have consulted with the managers twice a year. meetings and a team visit.”
However, the executive also admitted that there is room for improvement in the VAR system, and emphasized that the pace will be accelerated, including the time it takes for football referees to make final decisions after VAR intervention: “Frankly speaking, some decision-making time has increased this season, and that is Because the review of VAR is more stringent, it takes longer to review. We understand, but through training, we hope that they can implement it as soon as possible based on the facts they have seen, without the need for double or even triple review. If the review time is too long, it will affect The flow of the game, so it’s about improving speed but also maintaining accuracy.”
He also mentioned that there is insufficient transparency in the adoption of this technology: “Another area that needs improvement is the experience of fans in the stadium with VAR. Currently, IFAB (International Football Association Board) restrictions cannot show videos to explain decisions, so that They know the rules better. I don’t know how far we are from reaching that goal, but we will continue to lobby IFAB to make it more open, and the first progress we expect to happen is that the Football Association will announce to the audience through VAR review Decide.”
Last year’s Women’s World Cup experimented with the announcement of the final decision after a VAR review to the audience by the stadium referee. The response was good. It is believed that it will be implemented in other international competitions, large-scale club-level events and top leagues such as the Premier League in the future.
