Iran's manager Carlos Queiroz has launched a spectacular 10-minute diatribe in his post-match press conference after the VAR stole the show in the 1-1 draw against Portugal in World Cup Monday.
Portugal thought they had won thanks to a great strike by Ricardo Quaresma early in the second half, but the Iranians were denied a penalty, thanks to VAR.
However, the Iranian manager was not happy – insisting that Portugal should have been reduced to ten men after Cristiano Ronaldo was "elbowed". one of his players.
According to Sky Sports, Queiroz launched a 10-minute diatribe during his press conference, telling reporters: "The reality is that you stop the game for VAR and there is an elbow.An elbow is a red card in the rules to say if it is Messi or Ronaldo it is a bit.
"To get back to my daughter's story yesterday, I need to know if I'm a grandfather or not, I do not want to know if my daughter is" a little "pregnant or not pregnant. there is evidence.
"It's a red card, the question is not about referees, but attitude, bravery and character.
"Decisions must be clear for everyone, for the people, in my opinion, Mr. Infantino and FIFA, VAR is not doing well, that's the reality."
He added: "The truth must be respected and we need to know who referees the games, I'm not in a good mood, as you can see.
"If you implement the VAR, make mistakes is not human, make mistakes, that's when a single man on the ground can not see anything.
"But when you have high technology, training, thousands of dollars spent on a system and five guys sitting upstairs and they do not see an elbow.
"It's a yellow card, give me a break."
Queiroz continued to express his anger, insisting that his team "deserved to win" the tie, due to the discipline and attitude of his team throughout the match. He insisted that his team "controlled the game".
"We brought prestige to the World Cup," he said.
"It was a very competitive World Cup match, minute by minute, duel-by-duel, against one of the best teams in the world.
"But I think Iran, no doubt in my opinion, with the discipline, the attitude, the way we controlled the game, there was some justice in football – that does not exist – only one winner would be released in this game. And this winner should be Iran.
"They controlled the game and they passed – that's normal – but in terms of game management, in terms of competitive attitude, attack and mentality, I think we deserved to win the match."
