Mourinho's Tottenham have lost several points because of the VAR and this aroused the discussion about whether or not VAR is good for football. Referees have less decision and work thanks to technology since they can make a mistake and someone from another side is going to help them.

Mourinho got angry with the use of the VAR as he considers that the referees are no longer those who are on the court with the whistle but people who are behind a microphone, who often do not know who they are. For these reasons Mourinho believes that they are killing the beautiful sport that we all fell in love with in the beginning.

Tottenham was strongly affected by the decisions of the VAR in the Premiere League but later there are teams like Real Madrid that were benefited with dubious plays even watching them on television. As the former Chelsea or Manchester United manager said, the referee is human and must be able to make mistakes in the healthiest way possible.

The VAR came to provide solutions but it is generating more doubts than successes. What is known is that he is here to stay and as Mourinho said, he will surely change football in its natural state. The only thing left is to sit down and enjoy the show and learn to live with the VAR.
