"Rayo manager Iñigo Pérez argued that 'if a play needs several minutes to be decided, it can hardly be considered an obvious error.' He suggested a one-minute time limit to keep the game moving."
"La Liga President Javier Tebas admitted that 'something is not working' and proposed to 'take the bull by the horns' regarding VAR's inefficiencies."
"Eder Sarabia noted that while VAR is 'wonderful,' the current practice of spending four or five minutes reviewing plays is a clear misuse of the technology."
"Tebas's vision includes a Football Video Support model, allowing coaches to request up to two reviews per game, similar to systems in tennis and basketball."
Spanish football faces criticism over VAR technology following a chaotic match between Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad. The system, intended to correct referee mistakes quickly, has been deemed a failure due to prolonged decision-making times. Managers like Iñigo Pérez and Eder Sarabia have suggested implementing a one-minute limit for reviews. La Liga President Javier Tebas acknowledged the issues and proposed a shift to a Football Video Support model, allowing coaches to challenge decisions. This new system is still experimental and requires FIFA approval before implementation.
