Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic remains against video technology

Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic is no fan of video technology - despite it working against them in the EFL Cup.

Tadic believes reviewing key situations via an extra video official (VAR -video assistant referee) during play would ruin the “emotion" and “passion" of the game.

After defeat to Manchester United, Tadic told the Daily Echo: “This will mean we lose a little bit of flow because football is a quick game, everything happens quickly and it's got a lot of emotion and passion.

“We believe in the referees. They need to make good decisions and then there will be no point [in having technology] I think.

“It's important to get the right decision, but maybe for that kind of situation when you're not really sure, when it happens really quick, maybe then [you need it]."

“Mistakes are normal," he added. “It's not good when it happens to you, but I think the referees need to concentrate and not make mistakes."
