KUALA LUMPUR, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- UEFA President Michel Platini remains1 staunch in his rejection2 of the newly launched goal line technology, insisting it is unnecessary and will waste millions of Euros.
Platini, on a visit to the AFC house in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, simply replied "No" when asked if he had changed his mind on the goal line technology.
He told a press conference after signing a
memorandum3 of understanding with AFC that fund requirement was a major reason why he rejected the idea.
"
Implementing4 the goal line technology in all our competitions needs 50 millions euros over five years," said the former French football star, adding he would rather use the fund for other purposes like developing grassroots football.
The additional two
referees6 introduced by UEFA can judge if the football has crossed the goal line, he said.
Platini is traveling to Japan for the FIFA World Club Cup this week, where the world football governing body
formerly7 introduced the goal line technology.
Meanwhile, AFC
acting8 president Zhang Jilong was also cautious on the goal line technology, saying AFC needs more information to decide if it can be used in all competitions.
FIFA has stepped up its effort to bring in the new technology after a goal by England midfielder Frank Lampard was overlooked by
referee5 during the 2010 FIFA World Cup quarter-final. England lost 1-4 to Germany in the game.
