"Well, many things need to change in VAR. I think it's an issue that needs to be reconsidered. We have to remember that the world of VAR depends on IFAB rules, on FIFA rules. I'm one of those who are advocating, and I've told this to the referees' technical committee, that we need to move towards a more advanced Video Support model, like the one that exists in women's football and in the RFEF first division, perhaps improved for professional football."
"Things need to change because it's clearly not working. Next year, we can say that we'll have automatic offside, because this semi-automatic system was a smokescreen. And I think that helps, at least in some types of plays, to solve the problem, to be more objective."
"I think we definitely need to take the bull by the horns and find a solution to a problem that generates a lot of unease among clubs, players, fans, managers, people who don't understand football... and therefore something isn't working, no matter what anyone wants to say."
Javier Tebas has acknowledged problems with VAR in La Liga and advocates for significant changes to improve officiating. He emphasizes the need for a more advanced Video Support model, similar to that used in women's football. Tebas believes that the current system is not functioning effectively and suggests implementing automatic offside technology to enhance objectivity. He stresses the urgency of addressing the unease among clubs, players, and fans regarding VAR's effectiveness in decision-making.
