Jurgen Klopp Calls For Improvement In VAR System At UEFA Coaches' Conference

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has called for changes to be made to the use of the virtual assistant referee (VAR) at a UEFA coaches' conference in Switzerland on Monday.

The accuracy of the VAR system has been questioned many times especially during Manchester United's match against Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout stages of the 2018/19 Champions League, which the Ligue side's striker Neymar Jr angrily condemned and received match ban for his comment on the referee's position.

Klopp admitted the system can be improved but admitted making it "100 percent accurate" can be unattainable during his speech at the conference.

"VAR can be improved, it can. It will never be 100 percent accurate, everybody knows that." said the German. "But there are a couple of things that are not right.


The 52-year-old who led Reds to win the Champions League last season on their second consecutive final match appearances. In the same season, Liverpool narrowly lost the Premier League title bid to Manchester City by just a point.

He goes on to say, "There things are done by human beings and none of us is perfect. Nobody is asking for perfection, you just want to have the right decisions."

Reds had there fair share of being alleged favoured by the VAR system in their 3-1 league game win over Manchester City before the international break.
