, did not avoid the burning controversy of Spanish football. The one that has to do with the latest decisions of the Var. The Argentine coach has always been in favor of this new technology despite everything, and that in the case of the mattress team, unfavorable decisions have been made.
In any case, for the Argentine it is a technology that allows everyone to see issues that previously went unnoticed and that are now clear, for better or for worse. In this regard, he noted that “everyone in football is exposed” now. So if the decisions are unfair it is also clearly seen.
In any case, he also said that, in the case of the Real MadridIt is normal for more penalties to be thrown than the rest because that indicates that they are in the opponent's area longer than other teams.
“I'm not going to repeat things that we said at the time and it doesn't make sense now,” he explained, referring to being reminded that in his day he said that the league was “dangerously prepared for Real Madrid.”
“What do I think of Var? That exposes everything. Before we did not even have the option to account for things that are now seen. Then the referees are people who can be wrong too. Is more fair. If they charge you more penalties it is because you are longer in the opposite area. If at Real Madrid They charge him more is that he is there longer, “explained the Argentine.
“In the speed of soccer it is difficult to read what happens, but now another referee sees it with calmness on television. People too, from their homes. Then there are some people who decide. We are going to be harmed or benefited, but now we are all clearer if it is 'off-side', if a play is a penalty … You see, we are all more exposed, “he added.
