Gil Marin: There's a need to be braver with VAR, there's too much at stake Atletico Madrid Spoke about the technology

Atletico Madrid chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin has encouraged VAR officials to be bolder with the use of the technology.

Several referee decisions sparked controversy after the derby between Atleti and Real Madrid and Gil Marin has discussed the system.

"The technology applied to the sport allows you to evolve with various areas and VAR is essential to minimise errors, but you have to educate people about it as it's only used in four circumstances," he said at an event with Telefonica.

"In the rest of the actions, the VAR referee almost never corrects the one on the pitch.

"After such a big investment, they have to be braver and correct them as they did in the World Cup.

"They must not be afraid of making mistakes, as there is too much at stake.

"We are hurt because it has happened to us in recent games, but it has to be used with more courage."

Gil Marin was accompanied to the event by the club president Enrique Cerezo, as well as the team captains Diego Godin, Antoine Griezmann, Koke and Juanfran.
