Ronald Koeman has harshly criticized the VAR, saying it "breaks football"

The head coach of the Netherlands national team, Ronald Koeman, believes that the penalty awarded against the "Oranje" in the match against England (1-2) was a mistake.

The coach also criticized VAR, stating that it is "breaks football."

"In my opinion, there should not have been a penalty. Dumfries hit the ball, and the boots clashed. I think we cannot play properly, and it's because of VAR. It is really ruining football," the BBC quotes the coach.

It should be noted that the English team equalized in the 18th minute with a penalty, and this moment was very controversial. During one of the game episodes, Denzel Dumfries made a challenge on Harry Kane in a duel. The referee decided it was a penalty.

Former England and Manchester United defender Gary Neville harshly commented on the referee's decision to award a penalty in this episode.
