Thierry Henry opposed the use of VAR. The former French striker has made it clear in his seat in the sports business Leaders Week that he is not against technology.

However, he is concerned about the time it takes to make decisions about other sports. He even cited tennis, cricket and rugby as examples.

“In football we are always behind, we have a lot to learn. What I see in American football, rugby, cricket, tennis is that decisions are made instantly,” said Thierry Henry.

“What worries me about VAR is that it’s not fast enough. It’s not VAR that decides. VAR only reminds the situation. After you score, you don’t even know if it’s worth jumping for joy. Bounce; Am I having a party? I won’t have a party? It kills the joy of the game, ”added the current assistant to the Belgian national team.
