A video captured during a game in Bulgaria is generating great controversy and promises to give much to talk in the coming days. The images show a video technician, responsible for operating the VAR system, apparently making bets on the mobile phone while in the video room.
The unusual moment occurred during the course of the match, and the man only realized that he was being filmed when, hurriedly, he tried to hide the mobile device.
According to the international press, the individual in question does not belong to the referees, but has a crucial role in the operation of VAR: it is the one who provides the arbitration team the angles and chambers that allow us to analyze the moves in question.

The situation is already being investigated by the competent authorities, at a time when the integrity of football and the reliability of VAR are in question again.
