The Spurs played 1-0 tied with Chelsea when a penalty was imposed retroactively on Harry Kane, but Argentina thinks the technology needs work
Mauricio Pochettino thinks that the Premier League should delay the introduction of the VAR while Tottenham enjoys the technology in the first semifinal of the Carabao Cup.
The Spurs were penalized with a penalty kick after Harry Kane was in an offside position after being eliminated by Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, but a retrospective action proved his position.
Kane scored the goal to give his team a 1-0 advantage over the Blues, although the Spurs will miss striker and Son Heung-min when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

S addressing reporters before the return match, Pochettino said: "It's a good idea to delay [VAR’s introduction to the Premier League] because if we do not have all the information or do not know how it will work or how we can better develop the system, it is better to stop for a year or more.
"Nobody in Europe is happy with VAR and what worries me is that there is going to be a situation where football is starting to annoy the fans. If you stop for five minutes to make a decision, I do not know how they will behave.
"The goal line technology is the best, but after that, it's the way the referee perceives things. The emotion is not going to be there, the feelings and the tension. Technically, it may be a handball, but we know very well when it is intentional and only the referee and the players around him can decide. On the video, you can not perceive this. "
Pochettino had previously criticized VAR as a result of a heavy intervention of technology in the replay of the fifth round of the Rochers FA Cup in Rochdale last season.
The leading players came out 6-1 winners on that occasion, but Pochettino said that if the Spanish and Italian fans were eager to know the VAR, the Premier League fans would not get away with it.

Recalling these comments, Pochettino added on Wednesday: "It's because the game in England is more dynamic. If you compare to Spain or Italy, the ball is more at stake in England. Fans of this country are used to playing, transition, corner, goal, boom. It's more instantaneous.
"In the Rochdale retransmission, there was an incident in the first period that took forever to decide. There were 10,000 fewer fans after halftime. This situation was difficult to accept and I am not sure of getting a benefit. Those who are pro-VAR say that technology will help, but football is synonymous with mistakes – players, managers and referees.
"I tell officials that we need information [on why and when VAR should be used] because if we do not know it, it will be a big problem. "
