La Gantoise was beaten by the Union and was eliminated from the Belgian Cup. Buffalos coach Wouter Vrancken had a say in the officiating.
Wouter Vrancken was, despite the 3-2 defeat in the round of 16 of the Belgian Cup, very proud of his team. He repeated it at the post-match press conference.
He did not want to comment on the fact that his team was harmed by some questionable phases. “I prefer not to point out the absence of VAR. Few teams can come and play like this at the Union and make it an open match. Everything was there, except the efficiency.”
“There is clearly a hand from Burgess which is not whistled. The referee’s position was good, but in these last ten minutes, we do not dare to make the big decisions without VAR. Too bad.”
-According to Wouter Vrancken, referees can no longer do without VAR
And he was also very clear on the second goal. “For me, the second goal conceded was offside. It seems that we can no longer do without VAR. I don’t want to talk about these meetings with the referees yet. But it was detrimental to us twice.”
“VAR should be a helping tool, which is not the case. But the yellow cards are raining down, with a lot of arrogance towards us. There was no communication either,” concluded the coach .
