Hertha felt in the 82nd minute of the VAR Dr. Michael Jöllenbeck was deprived of a penalty in the hand as Leverkusen’s Kossounou blocked Jean-Paul Boetius’ 3-2 shot with his right arm.

Hertha technician Sandro Schwarz annoyed: “A clear 911. That’s what the VAR is for. I have for this decision Dr. Michael Jöllenbeck did not understand.
Joellenbeck of all places!
Three weeks earlier, in Gladbach, he had refereed a penalty in the hand against Hertha’s Filip Uremovic and sent the Croatian off with the Giallorossi.

Schwarz: “Uremovic was also in an aerial duel. And that was valued differently than this scene now. Someone has to explain it to me. The referee was also Dr. Jöllenbeck, who this time was VAR against Leverkusen. Then it won’t work. If you don’t have a clear line and play similar scenes differently every week, that’s ugly and unfair. “
Hertha coach Fredi Bobic (50): “Currently we have as many errors due to VAR as before without VAR or even more. The birds are wild this season, there is no clear line to see. You have the feeling that nobody understands it anymore. This is how football is changed. “
In the 82nd minute at the Olympic Stadium, Bobic says: “It doesn’t matter if you watch the scene on TV in black and white like in the past or in Ultra HD nowadays, it will always be a penalty. You can ask any footballer.”
