"I believe that we forgot the reason why VAR was introduced. In objective decisions, it is fantastic. For interpretations, subjective evaluation is more difficult. That's why we started to speak about clear and obvious mistakes, clear evidence."
"The figures paint a striking picture of how differently VAR is being applied across the continent. The Premier League has the lowest intervention rate this season at 0.275 per game, though that has not shielded it from controversy. The Bundesliga and La Liga follow at 0.38 interventions per game, with Serie A at 0.44 and Ligue 1 at 0.47."
"Rosetti's ambition extends beyond simply reducing the number of interventions. He wants all leagues to speak 'only one technical language', with particular concern over the inconsistent application of handball laws, which have been a source of widespread frustration among players, managers and supporters alike."
UEFA's head of referees, Roberto Rosetti, has called a meeting with referee chiefs from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 to address growing concerns about VAR inconsistency across Europe. Rosetti warns that VAR has drifted from its original purpose of identifying clear and obvious mistakes, instead becoming overly interventionist with microscopic decisions. Data reveals significant variation in intervention rates: the Premier League averages 0.275 per game, while Ligue 1 reaches 0.47 per game. Rosetti aims to establish a unified technical language across all leagues, particularly regarding handball law application. The summit seeks to create a more universal approach to VAR implementation, ensuring decisions are overturned only for clear and obvious errors.
