Rudneil: The referee didn’t even need VAR to announce the penalty!

In an interview with the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Nozer Rudneil said about the way the Iraqi referee Mohand Qassem judged in the match between Persepolis and Esteghlal of Tajikistan: The penalty in the last minute of the match was so clear that there was no need to review the VAR even to announce it, but this The Iraqi referee took 5 minutes to review the scene and finally gave up announcing the penalty! Maybe because Persepolis was 2-0 ahead of the opponent, he made such a decision.

He added: Persepolis’s second goal was also scored perfectly, but it was strange that VAR was needed for it to be correct. I have no faith in VAR in football and I say that it causes a loss of excitement in football. Of course, this Iraqi referee did not have a very good judgment and at least refused to give three yellow cards to the players of Esteghlal Tajikistan. This is the VAR that you keep saying is necessary for our football!
