Tottenham coach José Mourinho considers that the mistakes that VAR is making are not acceptable and gave examples of the entries of Gundogan (City) on Marchesín (FC Porto) and Pickford (Everton) on Van Dijk (Liverpool).
“I think the attention that incidents are receiving is based on the fact that there is VAR. Without the VAR, situations would occur on the field and the human being, the referees, would make mistakes. They have known me for many years and it has always been difficult to accept human error, but I learned and accept that referees make mistakes. What I do not accept are the errors of the VAR. What happened in the Merseyside derby, with things happening at 100 an hour, I would say “it was a bad tackle, it happened and it’s over.” The problem is that the VAR was there. The FC Porto goalkeeper could now have a broken leg. Nobody sees how a broken leg for the FC Porto goalkeeper turns into a penalty against FC Porto. Pickford’s situation with respect to Van Dijk is the same for me. The problem is the VAR and not the referee, ”said Mourinho.
In the Champions League match, Gundogan did not receive a red card for entering Marchesín and moments later the referee sanctioned a penalty for Pepe’s foul.
