DUSAN Tadic would NOT welcome video technology in football – despite Saints being robbed of potential League Cup glory as a result of not having it at Wembley.

Tadic believes reviewing key situations via an extra video official (VAR -video assistant referee) during play would ruin the “emotion” and “passion” of the game.

The offside flag was raised incorrectly as Manolo Gabbiadini struck what would have been the opener at the national arena.

Following the cruel 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, Saints boss Claude Puel said he’d like to see video technology introduced.

There is soon to be meetings at Wembley regarding whether or not to implement such equipment into the game to help with key refereeing decisions.

However, Tadic is among the game’s purists it seems and doesn’t want such changes, although would understand if it was to be introduced by football’s hierarchy.

When asked if he’d like to see technology to help referees, he commented: “No.

“This will mean we lose a little bit of flow because football is a quick game, everything happens quickly and it’s got a lot of emotion and passion.

“We believe in the referees. They need to make good decisions and then there will be no point [in having technology] I think.

“It’s important to get the right decision, but maybe for that kind of situation when you’re not really sure, when it happens really quick, maybe then [you need it].”

“Mistakes are normal,” he added. “It’s not good when it happens to you, but I think the referees need to concentrate and not make mistakes.”

The 27-year-old playmaker believes Saints’ Wembley outing will be beneficial for the future, despite suffering the heartbreak of a late defeat via Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s header on 87 minutes.

“Our young players can learn a lot from all of this and the game,” he said.

“It was a nice atmosphere in a beautiful stadium with our fans who are supporting us.

“It was a great experience for everyone, especially our young players.

“This will give us energy and it’s good for the future even when you lose.”
