Milan, Feb. 3 (LaPresse) – ‘I am absolutely in trouble with Var, I think it has completely changed the game of football, this sport and even those who have been in football for many years do not recognise themselves in what the rules are. Regardless of the advantages or disadvantages it may have in one match or another'. This is how Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, speaking to Sportmediaset's microphones on the eve of the match against Bologna, returns to lash out against referee technology. ‘It is a tool that has not enhanced the game of football, it has worsened it enormously,’ he reiterated, ’it has taken away contrasts, there is so much confusion about hand fouls and I absolutely do not like it. ‘It is true that there are some striking cases that Var uncovers, but there are too many that have made this game something different,’ Gasperini reiterated, ’but also in the spirit, in the movements, in the coordination, in the movements of the players. ‘It has not improved the game, it has created a lot of confusion even in the fans, the controversies have tripled, because there is no certainty in the rules and everything can be the opposite of everything. It is a tool that is too little useful.’
