VAR is still not unanimously accepted, so much so that some are now ready to take action. The president of Stade Brestois indicated that he was going to ask the LFP to remove video assistance.
And yet, his team won. This Sunday, on the occasion of the 13th day of Ligue 1, Brest won on the Montpellier pitch (1-3). But if the success of his men necessarily pleased President Denis Le Saint, the performance of the referees stuck in his throat. Maybe not necessarily on the match of the day, but more on the previous ones. And after reflection, here he is preparing to write to the Professional Football League to ask it to remove VAR.
The pure and simple cessation of the video refereeing system in Ligue 1 is what Denis Le Saint will officially demand from the LFP, according to information revealed on Sunday by The Team. The media explained that the leader of the Breton club was thus on the same line as his coach. After his team’s defeat against AS Monaco on November 10 (2-0), Eric Roy railed at length against the decisions of Mr. Wattellier and his assessors, in a message posted on social networks.
Referees put in difficulty
“ From now on, matches are managed by VAR which can, according to the rules in force, influence the result of a match. (…) The most serious thing is that it has the effect of removing responsibility from our referees and instead of helping them, it continues to put them in difficulty. » Thus expressed Eric Roy, and obviously, his boss is on the same wavelength. It remains to be seen what response the president of the League, Vincent Labrune, will provide when he receives the missive.
