The 'rajada' of the Barcelona Ivan Rakitic against the videoarbitraje

The past edition of the World-wide in Russia was the first that had to his disposal the videoarbitraje, more known like the VAR, like backrest to the referee's community to judge the actions. This system of help to the referees based in the new technologies has generated controversy, since a part has criticised it and another has put to his favour.

Ivan Rakitic, midfield player of the FC Barcelona, does not have a very good opinion of the VAR. Partly, also because it touched him suffer it in the final against France, in which the new technologies gave in some actions favouritism to the combined French, that finally finish carrying the trophy to his country.

In some statements collected by the daily Ace, the Croatian midfield player does not show very satisfied by the performance of the VAR. "You do not speak me of the VAR, have dreamed it thousands of nights. It can that it was our best party, during an hour were better that they, very upper", said, in reference to the final of the World-wide against France.

Rakitic Appointed two concrete actions in which the VAR turned away him to Croatia: "France did not know how stop us, how control us, how go out, how attack. They were uncomfortable. But the god of the football... In this final, the god of the football was French. The first goal comes of a fault that is not fault and the VAR could have taken part because Pogba was offside. If there is a penalti see it once and know it, do not need to see it ten times".

Besides, the midfield player culé recognised that the fact to have to expect to know if the played are valid subtracts him essence to the football: "Anything that improve the football is welcome, but with the VAR the game detains , the football loses something. Marks and can not celebrate, waits to see if the finger of the referee is in his ear...".

Rakitic, one of the cracks of the World-wide

Ivan Rakitic was one of the big players that left the World-wide of 2018. Together with Luka Modric, the footballer of the FC Barcelona was the one who carried the rudder of the selection of Croatia in the centre of the field. Finally, the football was cruel with him and with his team, but the true is that the level showed by Rakitic during the tournament was splendid.
