Ceferin against the Var: "On the hand ball is a mess. And now if you have a long nose you're offside"

Ceferin and the offside Var: "Tolerance of 10-20 centimeters"

"If you have a long nose, you are now in an offside position", the joke with which the Slovenian sports manager opens an interview to the 'Daily Mirror', and then on the subject to expose his rather innovative idea. "If we think about it, the lines are drawn by the Var employees, so it is a somewhat subjective design on something objective. So our proposal, we will discuss with our referee division, will be to maintain a tolerance of 10-20 centimeters as for the offside, "the words of the number one of the continental football association.

"Hand ball? Nobody can explain what it is"

Ceferin then enters the tackle as well on the question of hand ball. "I've never been a big fan of the Var. Now these days you see that the linesmen don't even bother to raise the flag. They wait, they wait, they wait. The players? They don't celebrate. Now they wait for the Var first. And as I said , no one can explain what is hand ball and what is not. What is intentional? The referee is not a psychiatrist to know if you did it on purpose or not – says the president of Uefa – Two weeks ago there was the meeting with the best coaches in Nyon: Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Max Allegri, Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane, all the best coaches of the European teams and our referee, Roberto Rosetti, showed a hand ball just asking if it was handheld. Half of the room said yes, the other half said no – that says it all about how clear the rule is. We don't know anything! For example, let's think about the game between Liverpool and Manchester City: Was there a hand ball or not? Alc an arbitrator in England, they do not even control, in Italy they control for half an hour. It's a mess, "Ceferin concluded, expressing his opinion clearly.
