Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has expressed Manchester City’s view on the VAR integrity complaint delivered by Nottingham Forest

A question was posed to Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, regarding Nottingham Forest’s complaints over the refereeing in the Premier League.

The statement that Nottingham Forest made over the weekend, in which they questioned the integrity of a referee, is something that Pep Guardiola “absolutely disagrees” with fully.

“We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him,” the club said on their official social media account, expressing their dissatisfaction with a number of decisions that were made during their 3-0 loss to Everton, who are their rivals for relegation. On several occasions, our patience has been put to the limit. Now is the time for NFFC to assess its alternatives.

The Federation of Football Associations (FA) is currently conducting an inquiry into the post, which has been criticized by the Premier League. The Premier League stated that it is “never appropriate to improperly question the integrity of match officials,” while also confirming that they are also investigating the situation. In response to a question regarding the remarks made during his news conference prior to Manchester City’s Premier League match against Brighton, the manager of the club expressed his support for the challenging work that referees undertake.

“I absolutely disagree [with the Forest statement],” he stated to reporters. The occurrence of events of this nature is becoming increasingly common in every league throughout the world; yet, I have never had any reservations about that fact.

“The referees really want to accomplish their jobs to the best of their abilities. They are aware of the strain, and we exert pressure on them because of the passion they have for the game at the moment; nevertheless, when I sit here and think about it, I realize that they are trying their best despite the fact that they are being watched by cameras. When they make a mistake, they experience sadness. It is not unusual.

They aspire to perform the task to the best of their abilities. Due to the fact that the game is so challenging, it is also very quick, and judgments need to be made in a single instant. It is not a problem.”

The following match for Forest is scheduled to take place on Sunday versus City. City will be attempting to maintain their lead over Arsenal in the title race on the same day that Arsenal will be competing in the North London derby.
