Pep Guardiola believes that Jurgen Klopp complained a little too much about the refereeing error that occurred during the Tottenham – Liverpool match.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken out about last weekend’s VAR controversy.
Guardiola encourages Klopp ‘to move forward’
The Catalan coach was asked about the Tottenham v Liverpool match, where VAR wrongly disallowed a Luis Diaz goal for imaginary offside. Although he has sympathy for his Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp, he indicated the Reds must accept the mistake and move on.
“I said it before the Champions League match, it happened. It was a mistake, we must accept it, he confided. VAR is there to reduce this error. All humans make mistakes, so do we. Machines were introduced for human beings, so it’s a mistake, and I hope it’s over here and we can improve on that side.”
Guardiola still recognized that for reasons of fairness, it would be better if this kind of blunder did not happen again in the future: “The Premier League or the VAR people will improve to avoid this and the reason she’s there is to make the game fair. VAR was implemented to make our game fairer, I hope it will be better in the future. “
Manchester City remains at the top of the English championship despite their defeat last weekend against Wolverhampton. Liverpool are fourth with two points less. The two teams will not meet again until November 25.
