In the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, Denmark played against Germany, in the 49th minute of the game, Danish player Anderson scored a goal, and then VAR intervened, which was canceled due to the offside position of the attacking player. After the game, Danish coach Ullmander lashed out at the VAR at a press conference, saying: "The result of the game was ruled by VAR twice, offside by 1 centimetre. I'm tired of these ridiculous offside rules and we can't let defenders run with their hands behind their backs. It's frustrating and football shouldn't be like that. ”
Ullmande's implication was that Germany had the home advantage and were clearly favoured, and it was VAR who helped Germany take away their victory.
However, Germany's header in the third minute was also called for an offensive foul, and if the goal was valid, Germany still had the initiative ahead of Denmark.
For VAR, netizens also complained:
1. Since there is VAR, the referee can blow the black whistle openly, and the more offside the line, the more the referee (image) has the final say.
2. The rules are unified, not specifically for whom! Your goal won't be blown for no reason.
In fact, the intervention of high technology in football games is to make the game more and more fair, and now I feel that the taste of the game has obviously changed! It really fulfills the old saying: where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Interest groups will never let go, it's just a different way of playing!
VAR, what do you think of this topic that is often bombarded by netizens?
