José Mourinho is current. The Portuguese coach has become a living history of AS Roma by winning a title again, in this case the first edition of the Conference Leaguesince 2009, when the Romans won the Italian Cup. In addition, the Portuguese has managed to put Italian football back at the top of European football, since it had been 10 years since an Italian club had won a continental title.

Now the Portuguese is focusing on reinforcing the capital team so that it is capable of competing to enter Champions League the next season. Before the transfer market starts on July 1, Mourinho has had time to participate in a conference on the application of new technologies in sport, held at the Faculty of “Motricidade Humana”, in the Portuguese town of Cruz Quebrada. During it, the Portuguese was very critical of VAR, although he praised other uses of technology such as the goal line or the detection of offsides.

“VAR has been moving in sometimes dubious directions. I lost a Champions League semi-final with a goal that didn’t go in. If VAR had existed, the ball wouldn’t have gone in. I also won games with offside goals,” he admitted. Mourinho.

“The ‘goal line’ technology is objective, whether it is inside or not. There is no story. The offside, unless someone manages to make half-crooked lines, is also supposed to be objective,” ‘The Special One’ continued. .

But heto the great surprise of the talk of Mourinho It was time to talk about one of the options being studied by the FIFA for the future, play ‘stopwatch’, just as it is done in other sports such as futsal or basketball. “I would like to stop the stopwatch because that way there would be no room to waste time or play with other things. I like it. In cultures like the Portuguese or Italian it would be something positive”, explained the Portuguese coach.

From the FIFA the possibility of stopping the clock every time there is an interruption in the match is studied. The biggest body in world football has already carried out some tests on stopping the match clock in youth tournaments, but from July 1 they will go one step further. The Mexican soccer league, known as Liga MX, will serve as a ‘guinea pig’ to test time stopping during throw-ins and goal kicks, hoping to have more effective playing time during the 90-minute match.
