|
I come from a refereeing background so for me I like seeing a |
|
coach who lets their emotions show but is also respectful |
|
towards referees. What are your views on referees and VAR? |
|
I don�t see any reason to disrespect referees. They are part of |
|
us, they are part of the game and we cannot have the game |
|
without them. There can be referee mistakes, I will make |
|
mistakes as a coach, my players will make mistakes, we are all |
|
human. I would not abuse one of my players for making a mistake |
|
so why would I do so to a referee? I want to build up a good |
|
relationship with them, I want them to respect me as a coach, to |
|
do this I must also respect them. I would like to be able to |
|
say to a referee, can you explain that decision to me, in a calm |
|
and polite way and for them to say, this is why I called it, it |
|
might be some reason I didn�t see or know. Even if they said to |
|
me, sorry coach I missed that foul, that is fine to me, it |
|
happens. I don�t want to be told to shut up or go away, I want |
|
to learn and understand. You see this at the top level, in |
|
International matches, where they will discuss a decision with |
|
you and explain the reason for it and I would like to see that |
|
here as well. |
|
I am pleased we have VAR now. I think it is good, it can help |
|
the referees to make the right decisions. I would rather wait |
|
for a few minutes and have the correct decision on the pitch, it |
|
is for the big decisions, the decisions that change the course |
|
for a game. I try to not get frustrated if it takes a long time |
|
because I know at the end of the time the decision will be |
|
correct. Sometimes it can be long, other times it can be quick, |
|
I would like to see it being quicker all of the time but getting |
|
the decision right is more important than the time it takes. |
