The power of Florentino... It changed the operation of the VAR with a call!

From his implementation in LaLiga Santander, the interpretations of the VAR have varied, in what to his influence refers . From the first moment, sold like a tool that the referee of the meeting could use if it considered timely; that is to say, the review of the played by the videoarbitraje alone would be necessary if the referee of the field doubted in a doubtful action, subject to possible rectification.

A played, in a party of the Real Madrid in front of the Real Sociedad, on 6 January 2019, would change it everything. It ran the minute 65 and Vinícius penetrated in the area to finish 'demolished' by the exit of Gerónimo Rulli. The Brazilian seemed to begin to fall before colisionar with the guardameta Argentinian by what the referee did not determine pitar the maximum penalty. Melero López, from the VAR neither appreciated penalti, "All OK, Jose Luis", commented. The played, therefore, was not reviewed in the screen of the videoarbitraje and the party followed without intervention.

The meeting finished with defeat merengue, with a result of 0-2. Obviously, the played controversy of the party lit to the madridistas that did not understand as it could not review this action on the Brazilian extreme. "The referee's performance has been scandalous. I think that the referee had to have pitado the penalti and afterwards consult it with the VAR", declared Sergio Bouquets, after the meeting.

As it is used to to happen, the party did not finish after the pitido of the referee. Florentino Pérez, president of the white team, little content with the performance of the team of judges in the meeting decided to call to Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Federation of Football. In a taut call, but polite, the business tycoon commented his disagreement with it sucedido in the Bernabéu.

"The call of Florentino produced after the party. There are times that the fact of not calling does that enquisten the things. It is important that seat that they can call. Florentino is member of the Managerial Board of the RFEF and on our part always go to want to have to the Real Madrid in the RFEF", commented the own Rubiales, after the telephone call.

Since, all has changed

The big power of Florentino Pérez is undoubted; in spite of this, costs to think that his interpretation can be so influential. From this day, the participation of the VAR is totally distinct. Nowadays, it seems that all played controversial has to be reviewed by the referee in the 'pantallita', although, so much the judge of field like the one of the room VOR, do not contemplate illegal action.
