The implementation of the 'Hawkeye' in LaLiga could have been beneficial for FC Barcelona in the play of Lamine Yamal's 'ghost' goal in the Clásico. However, the president has not changed his position of denial regarding the implementation of this technological advance in the employers' association

The Classical between the Real Madrid and the FC Barcelona (3-2) of the past Sunday follows generating a lot of discussion. Unfortunately, it does not speak so much of the sportive show that could have offered a clash of this magnitude, but rather of a series of controversies and questionable decisions by part of the referee César Soto Degree, the one who fungió like main referee in this commitment. Without place to doubts, the most stood out controversy is related with the goal 'ghost' cancelled to Lamine Yamal.

In the takings of different angles provided by external sources, can appreciate clearly that the balloon crossed entirely the line of goal before Andriy Lunin repelled it with a guantazo hand-held left, although the VAR did not detect it. This situation would have been much easier to evaluate for all the parts if LaLiga had the system 'Hawkeye', a favourable tool for this type of situations, since if the spherical crosses the line of goal, this system provides a signal to the judge through a vibration in a clock that carries in the arm.

Javier Thebes went back to 'wet' on the implementation of the 'Hawkeye' in LaLiga

In this sense, the patronal has remained backwards in terms of technological advances in comparison with other championships of first level like the Premier League, the Series To, the Bundesliga or Tie it 1, between other competitions. In front of this, Javier Thebes, president of the LaLiga, has exposed again the reasons by which, in his opinion, does not be worthwhile to invest in the implementation of the system 'Hawkeye' in the local competition.

"It is not a perfect technology and that is the first of the reasons. But it is not only this: along a season, the goals ghost suceden in three or four occasions and if you add him that it is not perfect, the value is very elevated for the use that gives him : it supposes to invest between five and six millions by the two categories to use it once and with doubts", declared in an interview conceded to 'Expansion'. Likewise, it added that "with the VAR, 99% of the played can solve ", referring to the controversies arisen after the Classical contested in Santiago Bernabéu.

This statement is not more than a reiteration of the posture expressed previously by the Hispanic-costarricense. It is worthwhile to remember that just after the controversy generated in the Classical because of this action, the mandator pronounced of way quite curious in his social networks. From his profile in the social network 'X' (@Tebasjavier), where is used to to be very active, wrote the following: "without comments...", but it accompanied his publication with a series of captures that evidencian the errors that has had the implementation of this technology in several competitions, to back his arguments.
