Venezia player criticizes VAR after loss to Inter Milan

Venezia defender Juan Jesus has expressed strong frustration following his team's 0-2 home defeat against Inter Milan. The controversy centers on a decision by the referee and VAR to validate Inter's opening goal, which occurred after a disputed foul by Carlos Augusto on Sohm in midfield.

Despite a competitive performance where Venezia created several scoring opportunities and had two goals disallowed for offside, the match was ultimately decided by two own goals from Moreno and Halhal.

In a social media statement, Juan Jesus criticized the officiating, stating, “If even the VAR does not correct episodes like this, clean and credible football remains only a slogan.” His comments have reignited debate regarding the threshold for VAR intervention and the discretion of match officials.
