Controversial Non-Penalty in Torino vs Inter
00:00:15
Speaker
So this penalty that wasn't given in the Torino vs Inter game, Nimr, how the hell was this not a penalty? It's a clear penalty. First of all, in my opinion, it's absolutely a Stonewall penalty.
00:00:25
Speaker
The
Media's Exaggeration of VAR Errors
00:00:27
Speaker
following is a clip from this week's Italian football podcast.
00:00:27
Speaker
But the thing that I've seen and the way that it's been covered has been really annoyed me.
00:00:32
Speaker
because this notion that Corriero de los Porc said that it's the greatest mistake since the inception of VAR is absolute nonsense. I can think of at least four situations where there have been greater injustices in the VAR era.
Inconsistencies in Penalty Decisions
00:00:48
Speaker
And just this season on nine different occasions, we've seen similar challenges where that have been worse or similar to this not given. And we've seen penalties given for far less. So again, it's the inconsistency that kills it.
Renokja vs Belotti Incident
00:01:04
Speaker
But it's but it's there's no doubt that it's that that Renokja first takes out Belotti and then takes the ball. So for me, it is a penalty.
Bremer's Rise in Serie A
00:01:12
Speaker
Whoever signs Bremer this summer is getting an absolute monster. I mean, he has everything in his game to be a well-class defender. He has the pace, he has the strength, he's brilliant in the air. I mean, just look at his numbers this season. They're absolutely ridiculous. He has the most interceptions in Serie A by a mile. He's won the most challenges in the league. He's won, I mean, listen to this, 70 more ball recoveries than anyone else in Serie A.
00:01:39
Speaker
the third most aerial challenges in the league. I mean, what a player.
Tudor's Comments Fuel Oseman
00:01:43
Speaker
The biggest mistake of the weekend has to be Helas Verona, coach Igor Tudor, who before the game just gave all the motivation in the world to Viktor Oseman, saying that he thinks Vlawic is a better striker than Oseman. And obviously Viktor Oseman goes off and wants to prove him wrong by scoring a brace. That's a huge mistake by him. But I disagree with Tudor. I think Vlawic is fantastic. But for me, Viktor Oseman is undoubtedly the best striker of the Serie A.
