It is the first time that Klopp has commented since the PGMOL made the VAR audio from Luis Diaz’s goal disallowed public.
Diaz’s goal was mistakenly disallowed for offside during Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Since then, the PGMOL and VAR have come under fire for the way they handled the circumstance.
The VAR audio was made available to the general public for the first time on Tuesday night.
Speaking before Liverpool’s match against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League, Klopp responded to the audio.”I was not interested in what happened as I saw the outcome, we scored and it did not count,” he told reporters, adding that the audio had no bearing on the situation.Given how significant football is, it is imperative that we handle things appropriately. The referee, linesman, and VR did not act in this manner on purpose. It was an obvious mistake, there were solutions.
“Replays are the best option, in my opinion, or the referee should convene the two managers at that moment. The issue, in my opinion, is that Spurs scored after that.Since I don’t think I ever saw anything like that, I believe a replay ought to be shown.
“The wording, clear and obvious, is not the right wording,” Klopp continued, speaking generally about VAR. These incidents ought not to occur. Errors of any kind ought not to occur. Come up with a plan to handle it. We press them, and the result is a hasty but incorrect judgment.
“The issues are apparent, but they can be resolved. We ought to make an effort to put these folks in a position to make the greatest choices.”
