Russian referee Sergey Karasyev shared his thoughts on the functioning of the VAR system. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He opposed the idea that reviewing video footage by some players does not benefit the game, as this process takes a lot of time. According to Karasyev, "Is it better to spend a lot of time making the right decision or to make the wrong decision in a short amount of time?
We need to start from that. Unfortunately, in some cases, it is not possible to combine these two things."
Last season, he officiated 16 matches in the Russian Premier League and also refereed in other tournaments such as the Saudi Arabian championship. Additionally, the expert-referees commission of the Russian Football Union noted that several errors were identified in his officiating during the season.
Previously, it was revealed that Karasyev has been reflecting on the quality of his officiating in recent matches. He mentioned that he constantly analyzes his work and looks for ways to improve.
This indicates a high level of professionalism and responsibility in the field of refereeing. Overall, the VAR system increases the ability to make fair decisions in football matches and assists referees.
The main task of referees is to ensure compliance with the rules of the game.
