Romeu has his say on video technology after Wembley heartbreak
Show/hide article…
Oriol Romeu has urged football’s rule-makers to bring in video technology after the League Cup final was “dramatically” altered by an erroneous offside decision.
Saints flew out the blocks at Wembley and found the net after just 11 minutes as Manolo Gabbiadini turned home from close range.
However, the goal was wrongly ruled off for offside on an afternoon that ended with United lifting the EFL Cup thanks to a 3-2 triumph at Wembley, where the International Football Association Board will convene this Friday.
Video technology is on the agenda for the 131st annual general meeting and Romeu hopes that changes can be made to cut out such crucial errors.
“I think that makes a massive difference in the game,” the Spanish midfielder said.
"We all players will agree that we want the truth to be part and to be real in the game. If it’s a goal, it has to count. If it’s not, it can’t count.
"Sometimes it can make a massive difference in a final because leading 1-0 will change dramatically the game in the other side.
“We all want to make it clear and to have it better for all the players and for all the referees and for everyone.”
Live video trials in football were given the go-ahead by the IFAB last March, with experimentation of technology that could assist officials with game-changing decisions beginning no later than the 2017-18 season.
Asked if he thinks every player would want it brought in, Romeu added: "Oh definitely, they will agree.
"Everyone wants if it’s a goal or if it’s not a goal it has to count or it doesn’t have to count, it’s as simple as that.
"The goal disallowed is something that happens and we cannot do anything about it.
"Also the referees play their part and sometimes make mistakes and sometimes they’re all right, we cannot say anything, we all make mistakes.
“About the feelings, they are difficult, it’s a difficult game to take because it’s a final, you’re so close to winning a trophy, it’s hard to lose in the last two or three minutes of the game.”
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s last-gasp winner stole the headlines on a day when Gabbiadini underlined his potential at Wembley.
Having seen his opener get ruled out, the 25-year-old attacker cancelled out Ibrahimovic’s free-kick and a Jesse Lingard strike with goals either side of half-time.
“Amazing, since he came to the club he’s been very good, he scored a lot of goals,” Romeu said of Gabbiadini.
"As a team-mate of him we just want to make him happy to make him keep playing like that way and to keep scoring goals.
"To be fair I think not many had seen him play before. But now since he came here he’s been very good, every time he has a chance he puts the ball in.
“That’s what we want, that’s what we need and we’re very happy.”
Gabbiadini’s displays certainly bode well for Saints, but they face a battle to stop this season petering out.
Puel’s men sit 13th with 13 league matches remaining of a topsy-turvy campaign, which is set to end a run of bettering their finish every season since returning to the top-flight in 2012.
“It’s hard (to pick ourselves up),” Romeu said ahead of Saturday’s trip to Watford.
"But we have now a week to come back and if we look into the game and the detail.
“The team has played amazingly and the way we did our jobs today we cannot say anything bad about how we played, how we came back into the game and we were so close.”

Southampton defender Cedric Soares welcomes reports he is wanted by Spanish giants Barcelona
Show/hide article…
Southampton defender Cedric Soares has admitted he is flattered to be linked with Barcelona.
The 25-year-old help Portugal win Euro 2016 last summer and he has continued his impressive form into this season at club level.
The right-back’s performances have led to talk of a move to Barcelona, who are still trying to find a long-term successor to Dani Alves after he left for Juventus last year.
The Spanish champions are looking at a number of options, including Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin, but Cedric is believed to be high on their shortlist.
And, after hearing of Barcelona’s reported interest, the Southampton defender confessed it was a major compliment.
"Any player, regardless of the club he represents, likes to see teams of this magnitude interested, without ever deviating from his focus.
“It is more motivation to continue working. It’s a sign that I’m on the right track.”

Manolo Gabbiadini reveals how manager Claude Puel is behind his flying start at Southampton
Show/hide article…
Manolo Gabbiadini is confident his January move to Southampton will represent ‘a turning point’ in his career.
The striker moved to the south coast during the most recent transfer window for around £14million after being deemed surplus to requirements by Napoli.
Since making the switch, the 25-year-old has been in fine form and he has already bagged five goals in three games for his new club - including two in Sunday’s EFL Cup final.
And, while he is not letting himself get carried away, Gabbiadini believes his decision to join Southampton could transform his career, saying his orders from manager Claude Puel are behind his scoring streak.
“It’s all beautiful, all fantastic, but I need to keep my feet on the ground,” Gabbiadini told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Football is strange, you’re flying and then suddenly you crash back down to earth. But I’d be lying if I said I expected a start like this.
"I’ve found a very young team and a hungry coach. I still live in a hotel, but I’ll be moving to a house soon, Southampton can truly represent a turning point in my career.
“Claude Puel? The relationship is good, he’s asked me to play as a pure centre forward, to always gamble at the near post.”
