I often feel that VAR's one or two-second delay disrupts the flow of the game while watching matches, so my solution is to limit VAR reviews to definitive decisions (penalties, red cards, goals) and ensure no review exceeds two minutes. To achieve this, referees should have a clear "rule framework" in advance—for example, automatic VAR referral for penalty suspicions while preserving the on-field referee's decision otherwise. This way, fairness is maintained without disrupting the match tempo. Additionally, if VAR operators and referees undergo a joint training program to better understand each other, unnecessary interventions decrease, and faster, more accurate decisions are made in critical moments. In short, focusing on *when* to intervene rather than the frequency of intervention would make La Liga more transparent and watchable.
