Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his frustration with VAR following a recent game against Chelsea. He reminisced about the fast-paced football of the old First Division, emphasizing a preference for games that keep fans engaged and excited. Postecoglou criticized how VAR has influenced match dynamics, leading to prolonged stoppages which disrupt the tempo of the game. As he looks towards retirement, he mentioned that he may shift his focus away from football altogether, indicating a disconnection from current trends in the sport.
I am the lone voice. I don't hear anyone else saying that. That's why I am sat here and saying maybe I am disconnected. When I retire, I will probably watch less football and find another hobby.
It is not the game. Maybe I was influenced by England and the old First Division. I loved the frenetic pace.
I've tried to design a game plan that has tempo and energy because I feel if you want people in there, you want them off their seat.
There was 12 minutes of extra time yesterday that's not why VAR was brought in.
