Referee boss Fröhlich: Video evidence also next season

Frankfurt/Main (SID) Shortly before the decision on the use of video evidence at the World Cup in Russia (June 14th to July 15th), German referee boss Lutz Michael Fröhlich spoke out in favor of extending the test in the Bundesliga. “I assume so,” answered Fröhlich in kicker when asked whether the technical aid will also be used next season: “Perhaps the test phase will also be extended. We want and need to continue to gain experience, exchange ideas with the clubs and that Further develop the video assistant tool. Feedback from the public and in the media is also important." On March 3rd, the rules enforcers of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in Zurich will decide whether to use the technical aid. If the IFAB gives the green light as expected, the Council of the world association FIFA with DFB President Reinhard Grindel would have to meet on 15/16. March in Colombia's capital Bogota. According to Fröhlich, the Bundesliga is considering improving transparency for spectators in the stadium. “There are considerations about developing standardized communication for the referees,” said the 60-year-old: If a check leads to a review process, then there should be more public transparency about it. At least that is the goal. The path should be discussed with the league and the clubs." With regard to offside decisions, there is currently no technical improvement. “There are still no calibrated lines, FIFA has not yet certified a version of a service provider,” said Fröhlich. According to the referee boss, the anger over alleged injustices will not go away. “It will always happen in football that someone will say in a cross-comparison to a previous match day: There were penalties there, and not in our case in a comparable scene,” said Fröhlich: “You don’t get these discussions even through the video assistant from the world."
