ANGE POSTECOGLOU has said he isnt worried at the prospect of being on the wrong end of a VAR decision, saying he has never thought about the decisions that can happen when preparing for a match.
Celtic have had their fair share of dodgy VAR decisions, mainly going against the Hoops, especially in their own penalty box.
It’s led to fans, and some pundits, voicing their opinions on the technology, with blunders commonly occurring.
The boss said the beauty of the game is the fact that it’s unpredictable, with moments of madness and wonder able to affect a match.
Speaking ahead of the match, Ange Postecoglou shut down the VAR chat, saying: [The Herald]
“I don’t worry.
“I’ve had my say on VAR a while back.
“But I’ve never gone into a game worried about decisions the referee is going to make.
“The beauty of our game is that no-one can write a script on how it’s going to go on Sunday. No-one can predict it.
“Something can happen in the first minute that changes the dynamic of everything that happens.
“What I tell the players is that, to the best of our ability, we control the things we can control.
“Things might interfere with that, like the opposition or the conditions – the pitch in the semi-final was tough for us.
“It could be a mistake or a referee’s decision, a moment of magic from someone.
“We can’t control those things. But we can deal with them if we do the stuff we control really well.
“I don’t let it enter my thinking and the players are the same.
“Whatever it is out there that we have to overcome, we have to find a way to do it.”
He’s made his opinions quite clear on VAR, and has remained consistent with the views.
If something happens because of VAR in Sunday’s match, that isn’t correct, Postecoglou will be sure to point it out while remaining classy.
