VAR Official Van Boekel Stands by Yellow Card Decision for Van Bommel and Criticizes His Boss
VAR official Pol van Boekel has defended his decision to uphold a yellow card for PSV player Ruben van Bommel during the Ajax-PSV match, stating he would make the same choice again based on established criteria despite widespread criticism. Van Boekel expressed frustration after referee chief Raymond van Meenen publicly stated that a red card should have been issued, noting that he lacked support from his superior. Van Bommel had collided with opponent Bouwman, resulting in injuries, and subsequently apologized for the incident.
