“VAR can be improved, it can" - Klopp speaks on VAR's inconsistencies at Coaches Conference

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp together with a host of leading European Managers have spoken on issues of football especially with the inconsistencies in decisions made by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in football games.

The Conference was held at the Headquarters of UEFA in Nyon, Switzerland as the top managers shared their insights and experiences.

Lots of complaints were poured on the decisions made by the technology after two controversial penalties rejected at Anfield on Sunday left Guardiola fuming on the touchline.

As quoted by The Sun, Klopp said at the UEFA meeting: “VAR can be improved, it can.

“It will never be 100 per cent accurate, everybody knows that. But there are a couple of things that are not right.

“With VAR, handball, offside, it is clear we have to keep on improving.

“There were good ideas from UEFA [about] how we can sort things from the referees, so everybody is in on it.

“There is still space for mistakes. These things are done by human beings and none of us is perfect. Nobody is asking for perfection, you just want to have the right decisions.”

Jurgen Klopp also voiced his concerns over the increasingly-crowded fixture programme affecting his Liverpool team from December to January.

The Reds will kick start their FIFA Club World campaign on December 18 with the Carabao last eight-fixture set to be honored also on Tuesday, December 17. Jurgen Klopp's men will have six midweek fixtures in between November 27 and January 2 to honor.

 According to Klopp, “The discussions on that are really important and we have to start them.”

Also attending the summit were managers including Arsenal’s Unai Emery, former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, Ajax’s Erik ten Hag, and Paris-Saint Germain’s Thomas Tuchel.

Among them was Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancellotti.
