But in addition to speaking of all this, Live also reviewed the referee's controversy that there is right now around the VAR.
Josep Maria Bartomeu surprised this past Sunday when complaining bitterly of how the videoarbitraje is helping to the Real Madrid and prejudicing to others. "It knows me badly, but the VAR is not giving the height that have. It is little equitativo from the COVID and is repercutiendo in the results and seem to be that always it favours to the same. It is truth that there have been a lot of parties in which the VAR has favoured to the same team. We speak with the FEF in his day. The VAR has to help to the referee, but in the last weeks all the world has seen a lot of images in which it has not been equitativo", commented.
These words have given the turn to the world and Live has insisted in them when ratifying the said by the president blaugrana. "Anybody can doubt of the paper of leadership of the Barça in the implantation of the VAR in LaLiga. It did it to improve the global result of LaLiga and of the show and to help to the referees. Anybody puts in doubt the tool. It would be absurd. We follow defending the implantation of the VAR, but it is necessary to improve the application of the criteria", explained, trying leave clear that the Barcelona only asks a better use of this tool.
The same that aimed Bartomeu, the spokesman barcelonista cleared that under his point of view the VAR is not being ecuánime with all the clubs by equal. "There has not been ecuanimidad in the application of the criteria. It has prejudiced to some teams and has benefited to a team. The president gave an opinion and ascertained some facts. It seems that, by moments, does not exist ecuanimidad", affirmed, without biting the tongue in any moment.
On the other hand, Ponti, lawyer of the club, referred to the indictments of Rousaud of does some months, although it did not appoint it directly. "We do not feel dizzy the partridge, there were people that accused to put the hand in the box, to steal. Somebody said this, and have to explain until ten before saying it, that there was corruption, that had commissioned a report for difamar... The people has to be responsible of his acts and his words. I ask to the people that does grave attributions, a bit of seriousness. We are speaking of imputaciones penal and this can not be", signalled.
You live it demanded a rectification to the means
Finally, you Live also it took advantage of the press conference to demand a rectification to all the media that doubted of the honorabilidad of the Barça like club. "After months to having coexisted with indictments and defamations on this subject, the FC Barcelona demands to those means that imputed said behaviours to our entity that proceed to the rectification of these informations, since they do not have foundation and have been denied by a report, that has had a boundless access to the information requested to the Club and to his executives", puntualizó.
