Mark van Bommel believes that the referees are too loyal to the players of the Ukrainian champions.

Antwerp agreed To the miner in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage only due to referee errors. This is what the head coach of the Belgian club, Mark Van Bommel, thinks.

The specialist highlighted several points where he was not satisfied with the decision of the head referee and the VAR referees.

“The referee gave two of our players yellow cards for alleged elbow strikes. But not their captain Stepanenko for a mistake that I made 25 times in my career and I received 25 cards. And in Janssen’s case, I think there was a penalty. They also played a handball in the penalty area during a corner kick.

Who worked for VAR? I’m curious about what they see. Say? I don’t want to draw too much attention to this, but we are talking about a person. Who is behind this screen? Are they competent enough? Do they understand football? We didn’t lose because of them, but sometimes I ask this question. What else should we do? Cancel VAR?” Van Bommel was quoted as saying by Gazet van Antwerpen.

Previous success Antwerp commented the head coach Shakhtar Marino Pusic.
