Strasbourg: Hojbjerg’s big anger against VAR

A forgotten penalty for Olympique de Marseille? A contentious situation in the area after contact between Guéla Doué and Jonathan Rowe. Very quickly, the Phocaeans demanded a penalty, which could have restored the advantage to OM. But the evening referee, Bastien Dechepy, does not flinch and does not whistle anything. The man in black did not even consult the VAR on this very complicated situation to judge. However, after the end of the meeting, Leandro Balerdi but also Pablo Longoria gave big rants. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was also extremely angry.

“Now world football has invested in VAR, why aren’t we using it?”

A few minutes after the final whistle, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg still had not lost his temper at the DAZN microphone, in particular because of the VAR which was not used: “I understood that here, I don't know, we see things differently, no problem. But there are things that are obvious. When it's blatant and what's more, we have television, in my opinion, we can't miss things like that Afterwards, if on the pitch, there is no VAR and the referee has to make a choice very quickly, like Tuesday in the Coupe de France, I understand. that there are sometimes human errors Now world football. has invested in VAR, why don't we use it.” The message got through.
