Griezmann is the latest footballer to speak out against UEFA. Coman received the ball on the right wing and crossed so that the ball deflected into the goal. However, the referee consulted with the VAR and finally France could not take the lead on the scoreboard. After the match, Griezmann spoke on TF1 about this. “UEFA has a lot of money and cannot do everything right so that we know if there is a goal or not.” Didier Deschamps also spoke about this. “He knew 99% that the ball had gone in,” he said.
“What I already regret is that we are like this at the international level. It could have been the same game with qualification at stake, and having a field where there is no goal line technology, it is a bit. Why was there no technology goal line? Because there wasn’t one, there you have it, it’s expensive,” said the coach.
“Obviously it is inconsistent with the requirements of high-level football. I put myself in the place of the referees, they have to put up with it. The VAR man is 99% sure that he is in, but there is 1% left because with the image. .. Okay. It doesn’t have any repercussions, except that it was one more match won and what it entails: we would have made a fortune and we would have ensured that we were at the top of the FIFA rankings at the end of the year,” Deschamps said.
It is not the first time that something like this has happened to the French team. In the last World Cup in Qatar, France lost against Tunisia 1-0. Griezmann scored in stoppage time and the goal went up on the scoreboard, but the VAR corrected his play and the referee rectified his initial decision.
