Fernando Roig Negrules He was strong at the end of the match between Sevilla and Villarreal. The Villarreal CEO approached the Sanchez Pizjuan Mixed Area to stress that they had “clearly stolen two points from us”. In these terms Roig Negiroles was referring to the controversial last-minute action, a goal disallowed by Ben Brereton at the request of the VAR due to a foul that the referee did not consider direct, thus validating the goal.
“I went down (to the field) because of someone’s dissatisfaction, but I did not speak to him. There is nothing that can be done. It is clear that they stole two points from us and we will try to win the next match.” His complaint went beyond the two points that Villarreal failed to add: “It is clear that when they whistle at you, you feel Angry, but This is bad for Spanish football. VAR is there to help, not to hurt. I also remember Celta’s last minute match against Sevilla. “It is not necessary to use VAR, we give a very bad image of Spanish football.”
Roig Negiroles continued, saying: “Referees must be VAR specialists, because there are good field referees and good video referees. They have to specialize people. I don’t know if it’s the desire for fame and for someone to come from Madrid and disallow a goal, which is where we put a lot at stake.” In this sense, he reiterated the misuse of VAR that Marcelino condemned: “It’s just for very clear and obvious mistakes. If the referee makes a clear error, that’s what VAR is for. But not for work is not wrong. If a foul has been declared, the referee will call it. But it is not necessary for the VAR to come.”
