Manchester City is in an unexpected moment after the most recent results that are not entirely positive. However, beyond the level of the citizen team, in England there is a great concern and it is precisely the refereeing. After the match between Liverpool and Tottenham, things have not been positive at all and the coaches are slowly starting to really lose patience with the refereeing in the competition.

 

The Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola, raised his voice after the referee's failure in the duel between Tottenham and Liverpool, where the VAR annulled a goal by Luis Díaz that was legal and would have allowed the "Reds" to take the lead on the scoreboard. This event is nothing more than another example that on many occasions, the referee does not fulfill its role as a judge, but rather tends to make errors, which affect the result and harm multiple clubs.

"They will have to find a system in which the main roles are the players and the game itself," Guardiola said. "In all countries, not just here. The referees and the VAR are the protagonists," said the Spanish coach. However, the league continues to fail to take convincing actions that satisfy the teams' needs. For this reason, Guardiola assures that there is a real problem.

 

What else did Pep Guardiola say?

"If they make a mistake with the VAR, we have a problem. I completely understand how upset Liverpool must be in that case. It could be another club, but the referee bosses will decide what we have to do and we will follow them. That's all." , Guardiola noted. For now, the refereeing establishment (PGMOL) recognized his error and alleged the failure to be a "human error", explanations that have not satisfied Liverpool. However, beyond the suspension of those responsible, it will certainly be difficult to have any type of impact on the result.
