Between doubts about VAR and the doubts about Valverde

The Barcelona's match against Girona will be remembered as the first one in which the VAR system served not to help the Spanish professional football judge, but to confuse it. Clement Lenglet`s 1:0 elbow kick in the 36th minute did not result adviced by biography of messi in any protests from the players` side, and the Chief Referee Gil Manzano would obviously not have shown a red card if he had not been consulted with the video guitar leaders with Del Cerro Grande.
Yes, surely the French defender, Barca`s first player, was in contact with the rival, but he was just as surely did it without purpose. Even if the injured Pere Pons showed honesty, and after the end of the match, he was astonished that there was nothing dangerous and that he even thought he had made a violation of the situation. It is entirely logical for Barca`s decision to appeal the red card and hope it is canceled by the Spanish Football Fed eration`s Race Committee at the upcoming disciplinary board meeting.

This huge failure serves to raise the question of a more detailed examination of the VAR phenomenal system: it is not enough just to see what is happening on the pitch and to interpret it correctly. And maybe Gil Manzano, who has driven out three Camp Nou blues out of 2015, is not the right person for that.
In modern football, such decisions have a huge impact, especially in today`s La Liga, where absolutely all become more and more professionals, there are more and better coaches, better methodology, better static positions, better players. In such an environment you play with a lesser person, and for 2/3 of the game, it is an extremely aggravating presentation, if your name is Barcelona and if your opponent is called Girona and you are staying at a stadium like Camp Nou. If it`s getting harder to win any match in 11 football players, your task becomes even harder with 10. With a number of downsides you can build the same strong attacks, but you`re much more vulnerable toand the error field is greatly reduced.

Yes, not everything happened to Barca is due to the referee's decisions, because first of all it must be admitted that it was an ambitious, super-well and well-built team of Girona headed by the ubiquitous Portu and Cristian Stuwani;a great top scorer who bounced two supergolls and demonstrated the weakness of the champions` defense all night (five hits in the first five rounds). The match also showed Barca`s two faces:offensive efficacy, with Lionel Messi once again on the one hand, and on the other hand the uncertainty of the entire line of defense and the apparent inconsistency of the midfielder in the absence of Ivan Rakitic.
It was this weakness that led coach Ernesto Valverde to replace Ousmane Dembele for Samuel Umtiti at 1:1, sending a message to his boys to be more restrained in the game. But the club DNA is just the opposite of such a negativity: to show courage and boldness when obstacles and difficulties appear on the road.
