Casillas suggests VAR should be accompanied by former professional footballer

Iker Casillas has defended his area in over 1,000 matches of professional football, yet his suggestion on how to improve VAR is a little outside the box.

The ex-Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper feels that the team of referees who run the rule over the big decisions should be accompanied by a former professional footballer to provide an expert perspective.

"I propose that for VAR, as well as the official who analyses the images, there is also an ex-footballer," he told his Twitter followers.

"It would be good [for them] to give their opinion on the incidents that take place during a match," he wrote.
