VAR Missed Blatant Onana Foul in Man United Win - ONeil - ESPN

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has criticised the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for missing a “blatant” foul on Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana during his sides 2-1 win over the Dutch side in the UEFA Champions League.

The incident occurred in the second half of the match, when Onana was brought down by United defender Victor Lindelof as he attempted to clear a ball from inside his own penalty area. The referee waved play on, but replays showed that Onana had been fouled and should have been awarded a penalty.

Speaking after the match, Solskjaer said: “It was a blatant foul on Andre Onana and it should have been given as a penalty. VAR should have seen it and given it. It was very clear.”

The Norwegian manager also expressed his frustration at the lack of consistency from VAR this season, saying: “It seems like every week there is something different with VAR and it is very frustrating for us managers. We just want consistency and clarity so we know what to expect from them.”

The incident has sparked debate among football fans about whether VAR is being used correctly and whether it is having an impact on the game. Some argue that VAR is making decisions too slowly, while others believe that it is not being used correctly or consistently enough to make an impact on matches.

Whatever your opinion on VAR, one thing is certain: its use in football will continue to be debated for some time to come.

維持著2-1勝出的曼聯，在歐冠對阿賈克斯的比賽中，總教練奧爾·古納·索爾斯克亞對影片助理裁判（VAR）失誤表達了不滿。他批評VAR沒有看到安德烈·奧納納（Andre Onana）在曼聯后衛Victor Lindelof的干擾下受到的「明顯」犯規。

    此事件於比賽的下半場發生，當奧納納嘗試從他自己的禁區內清理球時，他受到了曼聯后衛Victor Lindelof的干擾。裁判員還是吹了延期，但重新回看影片顯示奧納納受到了侵害並且本來就有理由得到一個點球。

    在比賽後，Solskjaer表達了不滿說道︰「安德雷·奧南娜受到明顯的侵害而且本來就有理由得到一個點球。VAR本來就要看見這一點而且也要作出裁定。這是很明顯的」

    挪威教練也對VAR今年季度失去一致性而感到失望說︰「似乎我們教練們都常常看見不同的VAR情況而感到失望。我們只想要一致性與明快所以我們能夠明白他們在作出甚麽裁定」

    這件事情引來了不少球迷關於VAR是否正常使用與是否能夠影響整場比賽的論戰。一方說VAR作出裁定太遲而另一方則說VAR不能正常使用或者不能夠充份影響整場比賽。

    無論你如何看待VAR，有一件事是可以保障︰關於VAR在橄欖球中使用上的相關課題將在之後也都會不斷地存在與傳閒
