Vietnam national football team lost 12/14 matches at Asian level: Don't blame VAR
According to statistics from ASEAN Football, Vietnam national team has won only 1 out of 14 international matches applied by VAR. Deep down, the behavior of players when playing in Asian competitions is what needs to be discussed.
The Vietnamese players who are currently playing in the V.League have also had a period of more than half a year to get used to the turning points coming from VAR. But are they really serious about their behavior, when the main referee has an additional assistant as a reference? A former referee of Vietnam once affirmed that the players still maintain bad habits when fighting and cheating in the V.League, even with or without VAR.
That brings us back to another question for referees in Vietnam. If they are willing to be strict and decisive with player errors, based on professional judgment as well as reference from VAR, the number of unnecessary fouls from Vietnamese players in international competitions will be reduced.
