Pochettino: “At first I was against VAR, but then I supported it”
Chelsea secured a huge 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League London derby in a VAR-deciding game, with Mauricio Pochettino stressing after the game that no one could complain about the introduction of the technology.
With VAR playing a crucial role in the clash between Tottenham and Chelsea, the Blues secured a major victory with a 4-1 win in the Premier League London derby.
The Blues coach noted:
“We deserved to win, we forced them to make mistakes. Our performance was good overall. Tottenham are playing very well, with a lot of confidence. We played against the league leaders and deserved to win. These three points can do us good.” moving forward.
Everything we saw was correct. The arrival of technology is for the football we wanted, now we can no longer complain. At first I was against VAR, but then I supported it. There are many things to check. Although he had a lot more time this evening, I don’t even know if it’s… 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock in the afternoon. A lot of coaches wanted VSA, but when it goes against us we complain.”
