Vieira gets annoyed following a whistled penalty
After the encounter, the French manager tackled Diogo Jota, the referees and the VAR following this decision. “He (Jota) was really smart, the referee was naive and the VAR was naive. There was no way he would get the ball back to score. I don’t even want to talk regarding it. We had meetings with referees and they explained that if there was harmless contact, there would be no penalties. I’m looking at every angle and I don’t understand how this one might have been whistled. It took away all hope of getting back into the game and getting a point. It was a very bad decision on the part of the referee and the VAR, ”said Vieira, annoyed.
to summarize
Patrick Vieira, manager of Crystal Palace, did not hide his anger following the defeat of his troops once morest Liverpool (1-3). It must be said that the end of the match took a turn that the French manager would have liked to avoid.
