I have my opinion, but I will not say it, just in case the club does not think like I think!

It is the club that decide and they take the decision they want and what is best for the league. But I have very clear ideas.

We have been talking just regularly, but we haven't decided, because I think it's not now when they have to take the decision.

I think there is more time. For sure I will not be the one deciding. I will try to give my opinion."

He also said: "For me, it is fairer, the game with VAR.

"Even if they don't get it correct a lot of times. But they get it more times than if it is just the referee.

"But in exchange of this, you are giving a lot of things, especially the celebrations.

"Once we score a goal, we celebrate, but not a lot, because you are going backwards in your mind and saying 'the goal comes from this pass, no offside, no foul here, it comes from the other side, no foul, yes I think it's a goal'.

"Then you wait two minutes and then you say 'I think it's a goal'.

"But I think the game is more fair with VAR.

"Now we don't remember, but they got much more things wrong a lot of years ago."
