Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has accused officials of seeking \u2018leading roles and Oscars\u2019 amid the VAR scandal involving Liverpool and Luis Diaz.<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side have\u00a0requested to hear the VAR audio\u00a0from Saturday\u2019s draw at Tottenham after Diaz had a legitimate goal wrongly ruled out with PGMOL confirming that a \u2018significant human error\u2019 had taken place.<\/p>\n
Darren England, who was on VAR duties for the match, is believed to have\u00a0mistakenly thought that the goal had been awarded\u00a0by the on-field team so quickly said \u2018check complete\u2019 to confirm that Diaz was onside.<\/p>\n
But the on-field team took that to mean that their original call of offside had been correct and play restarted, prompting a massive furore afterwards.<\/p>\n
Guardiola has now shared his own views on what happened and said: \u2018They will have to find a system where the main roles are the players and the game itself.<\/p>\n
\u2018In all the countries, not just here. The referees and the VARs are the leading roles. And the Oscar goes to\u2026 they have to take a step back. It\u2019s (about) the players.<\/p>\n
\u2018(In) some games, be more humble and leave the players to do what they have to do, and they will be better. They (referees) will be better.<\/p>\n
\u2018VAR changes the job of the referee. They don\u2019t take the decisions, now it is the job of the VAR, the important ones.<\/p>\n
\u2018If they make a mistake with the VAR, we have a problem. I understand completely how upset Liverpool must be in that case. It could be another club but the bosses of the referees will decide what we have to do and we will follow them. That is all.<\/p>\n
\u2018I rely on the people (PGMOL) and we have to apply it as best as possible. I would say, I am not a professional at that, I am not involved and I don\u2019t care. I rely on the people. Everyone knows they made a mistake and Liverpool suffered the big consequence of that. In this type of game it is so important.\u2019<\/p>\n
