Once the referee launches the appropriate 'frame', it is the technological system approved by LaLiga.<strong> “I trust the technology a lot, I'm not an expert to say if it can fail, but the reports we have are that it never fails”, </strong>he summarized.</p> <span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-md irr-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit irr"> </span></span><span class="content-html"><span class="intext-md hidden-xs hidden-md"> </span></span></span><span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-xs roba-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit roba"> </span></span></span><p data-gtm-element-container="modulo-texto-link" class="paragraph">Invited to the awards gala <strong>Madrid Sports Press Association (APDM)</strong>which took place this Monday in Madrid, also referred to the changes that the IFAB recently announced that it will consider incorporating from the 2026 World Cup onwards: "There are many experts who guide where football is going.
