 | | Platini: We do not need goal-line technology, but more referees26.09.2012 |
UEFA President Michel Platini remains opposed to the introduction of any type of technology in football to ease the work of judges and also to serve as a corrective in their decisions.
The Frenchman has said repeatedly that he would not retreat from his position, although from season 2013/2014 Premier League plans to introduce a system to follow the goal-line after many requests from the media, the public and many football managers.
"What will happen to the offside decisions?" Said Platini. "One person will report to the judge, pressing a button while watching a replay? What if this man is from Arsenal must award a goal for Tottenham, what he will do then? "
"My idea is to help the referees and judges to add more judges. You can never convince me of the advantages of the technology. The answer in terms of technology to assist referees - my answer is "no". "
