Alfonso Pérez: “In the VAR there should be former soccer players”

Alfonso Pérez Muñoz, former player of Real Madrid, Betis and FC Barcelona, ​​analyzed in Betsfy the action that has marked a decisive day of LaLiga Santander, the penalty awarded in favor of Sevilla by the hand of Éder Militao. The former international footballer has a clear position in this regard, for him there is no maximum penalty: “Militao jumps with his back to the trajectory of the ball, hits his back and then his hand. The referee, logically, consults with the VAR, he sees the screen and takes a penalty. An action that is unfair and that is happening in many days of the league championship ”.

Alfonso also highlighted how unenlightening the hands criterion is being this season. “There is no single criterion for all referees to agree, and that everyone whistle the same actions, and be more fair, “he said in his personal profile on Betsfy.

The forward who also played in the Barcelona and the Betis, defends VAR as a tool, but also provides new suggestions to improve its use with the presence of a new figure: “VAR seems like a fantastic tool to me. It would seem fair to me that there could be soccer players, people who have played it and who have experienced those kinds of actions. Footballers who have not necessarily been in First division or have been international, but have had 10 or 15 years of experience in the world of football. That they are a good complement for the referees, who know the rules perfectly but do not have the same experience on the field as a player or former soccer player ”.
