"It changed the job of the referees because now they don’t make the decisions, it goes to the VAR,"
"I understand the feeling of Liverpool but the bosses of the referees will decide.
"No (I don't have any ideas how to improve it). I’m not a professional in that to apply it as best as possible. I’m not involved in that and I don’t care.
"We have to rely on the people there. Everyone knows they did a mistake and Liverpool suffered a big consequence of that cause in these games is super important."
"They will have to find a system where the main roles are the players and the game itself. In all the countries, not just here.
"The referees and the VARs are the leading roles. And the Oscar goes to… they have to make a step back. It’s the players."
"Some games, be more humble and leave the players to do what they have to do, and they will be better. They will be better."
