Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic says he prefers playing without Video Assistant Referee (VAR) even though his side felt hard done by in going behind to a controversial penalty in the 2-0 loss to Liverpool. The 27-year-old Serbian midfielder said he had asked Egyptian Mohamed Salah to tell match referee Michael Oliver he should reverse his decision to award a penalty on the stroke of half-time in Monday’s match.
Salah, who has been accused of diving by among others Palace manager Roy Hodgson, refused. However, Milivojevic believes the Premier League is better off without VAR even though they are the only hold-outs of the major, top-flight leagues to do so. “I do not want VAR in this league,” he told the Crystal Palace website.
“In this country you have the best referees in the world. I do not think VAR will help. “They are human beings, and they make mistakes sometimes. “In his opinion he (Oliver) did the right thing. “As players, we have to respect the referee. We are not a team who will cry over that penalty, we just carry on.”
