Although the meeting of Spain against Brazil at the Santiago Bernabéu was nothing more than a friendlythe tension was palpable on the pitch and there was a lot of controversy over two penalties awarded to Luis de la Fuente’s team, which ended in two goals, and which Brazilians protested a lot.
The President of the Brazilian Football Federation, Ednaldo Rodrigueswent much further at the end of the match and stated that the Brazilian team will not play again without VAR… not even in friendlies. “The CBF will inform FIFA that not only the official matches of the Brazilian teambut also in friendlies, They are obliged to use the VAR. Football is very advanced in Europe and left a lot to be desired in an important match,” he denounced after the duel.

Ednaldo Rodrigues focuses his criticism on UEFA, which according to him is the one who should have implemented the technology in this Tuesday’s match: “It would be up to the confederation here, to UEFA, to be more demanding. The VAR is here to stay. “The CBF uses VAR in series A, B, C, D, in the women’s category, in youth, it is the country that uses VAR the most in the world.”
The president of the CBF was not the only one who complained about playing without VAR in the Brazilian expedition. Savinho, Girona playerhe did not understand why that decision was made: “It’s very strange, very strange. “I don’t think I’ve ever played without VAR. Penalties? I can’t talk about that.”

Also his partner Andreas Pereira was critical in this sense: “The two penalties, if there had been VAR, would not have been called. In these games you have to have VAR. “The referees are already used to it, so it was also difficult for the referee.”
