Petr Čech on Crespo and VAR

Petr Čech is convinced VAR would have rescued a ton of goals for Hernán Crespo. He says officials were flagging him offside four to six times every match, but checking the replay showed he was only actually off on two of those. His timing was elite: he'd cross and instantly be behind the last defender, yet linesmen reacted to his position rather than the play. Čech also praised his striking as powerful and genuinely impressive. His guarantee is that with VAR in that era, Crespo would have at least 50 more goals than he ended up with.
