The last game of 2020, CFR Cluj – University of Craiova 0-0, started a new heated discussion, and the Oltenians insist on implementing the system in our country as well.

Justin Ştefan, general secretary of LPF, specified for Digi Sport that great efforts are being made to accelerate things and hopes that in 2021 the existing obstacles will be overcome.

Justin Stefan: “The TV rights holder has the equipment available for VAR”

I said last time that we do everything that depends on the League to have the VAR. I spoke with and brought the representative of the television rights holder, Mr. Orlando Nicoară, and he told me that he has the necessary equipment for VAR available.

But there are still steps I couldn’t take. I hope that next year we will overcome the obstacles we face and that together with FRF and CCA we can complete the project. Time horizon? I really can’t give. If this was just for the League, it would pass very quickly“Explained Justin Ştefan for Digi Sport.

Mihai Rotaru says that the University of Craiova had a valid goal, but does not accuse the referees

Oltenii had a phase in the 89th minute of Cluj’s game, in which they complained that the ball fell from the crossbar beyond the goal line.

The game was allowed to continue and even after watching dozens of replays on the Digi Sport set, it cannot be said to be empty without a doubt.

  • However, to clarify such phase, the Goal Line would have been necessary, the system that communicates to the referee if a ball goes over the goal line or not.

“There is no leader in Romania who does not want to implement VAR. Everyone agrees to pay, I have not heard anyone oppose. We cannot have referees who are robots, who do not make mistakes. Somewhere things got stuck. We will see where and we will try to lobby to unlock this situation, resources can be found.

During the 2-3 minutes of analyzing the VAR, you can earn money from the ads. There are no large sums on the arbitration scales, if they increase. 1-2% of the budget that we can pay.

It seemed to me that it was empty in the Cluj phase. You can see the shadow of the bar and the shadow of the ball. We didn’t blame the referee, but he was naked. Reviewing and analyzing, we affirm that it is valid. I don’t think the VAR can be ready at the start of the lap. Courses are needed, time. It is clear that we have a problem, it is not acceptable that it has not been implemented until now. I was watching a Mitriță game, in Saudi Arabia, and they have VAR ”Rotaru commented on the Football Club.

Summary CFR-University of Craiova 0-0
