Jurgen Klopp Disappointed VAR Fails Liverpool to Beat Manchester United

DBasia.news –  Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is frustrated with the video assistant referee (VAR) in the English League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Reds had to settle for playing with the results 1-1 in the match. The match took place at Old Trafford on Sunday (10/20). The match was the ninth match of the 2019-2020 Premier League.

 In that match, Manchester United took the lead through Marcus Rashford’s goal. The goal smelled of controversy because Jurgen Klopp assessed Divock Origi was breached first.

 This is not the first time VAR has caused controversy in this fight. Previously, Sadio Mane’s goal was disallowed because the player was considered touching the ball with his hand.

As a result, Jurgen Klopp was frustrated by the various situations. The German manager criticized the use of VAR in the Premier League.

I believe in the capacity of Martin Atkinson. If there were no VAR, he would blow the whistle because there was a violation. That’s because other people should act,” said Jurgen Klopp.

It’s like when Manchester City didn’t get a penalty against Crystal Palace. Come on, that’s 100 percent penalty. However, VAR is not enough to help.”

Everyone should discuss this as a whole because the process is very important. In my opinion, VAR is very good. However, what has been applied is only for handball and offside,” he continued.

These results stop a series of Liverpool wins. Before facing Manchester United, the Reds wiped out eight consecutive wins.
