Part 4/7:
Simultaneously, a senator expressed outrage over the CBF's (Brazilian Football Confederation) head of refereeing, Cem Wison Lu, who explained that the VAR is not mandated to show all camera angles to the on-field referee. This revelation reignites the contentious debate surrounding VAR implementation in Brazilian football. According to Lu, the VAR system is designed to assist referees with the most impactful footage, selecting angles that clarify contentious game moments. The criticism lies in assumptions that VAR manipulations could skew game results, although many agree that this system overall functions to equip referees with the necessary tools to make informed decisions.
