London's "Tottenham" shared a point with "West Ham United" in the city derby on Wednesday. The most attention after the match was focused on the penalty kick awarded to "West Ham" in the 11th minute, which was ultimately canceled after a very long VAR review. "Tottenham's" manager stated after the match that the referee made the right decision in real time, which was ultimately changed to a wrong one.
"After the first half, I told the referee in a very polite manner that he had made the right decision, which was changed to the wrong one by VAR. The people sitting in the VAR room put the referee in a very uncomfortable situation. Players and coaches don't find it difficult to accept referee mistakes because sometimes decisions are beneficial to you, and sometimes to your opponents. Ultimately, there is still a balance in such decisions.
The problem arises when people sitting at the monitor and having plenty of time for analyzing the situation make wrong decisions. It is obvious that both fans and viewers in England do not like the VAR system. I think it would be better to abandon the VAR system in England, as referee mistakes can be understood and easier to accept, as we are all just humans," - A. Conte explained while speaking to "Sky Sports".
