This stance is opposed to the French legend's, who wants the sport to proceed with the initiative   ufffd introduced to the Champions League this season   ufffd of placing two extra assistants behind the goals.<br /><br />Speaking to the Scottish FA's website, when asked about the use of platforms such as 'Hawk-Eye,' Platini stated: "Then we will have PlayStation football."<br /><br />The 55-year-old added: "One referee is not enough, not in the modern era where you have 20 cameras. It is unfair: the cameras can see everything but the referee only has one pair of eyes. It is not fair to the referee.<br /><br />"It is why for the past 10 years I have asked to change the job of the referee, to help improve the situation and to give the referees better support. The system is bad and I have known this for 40 years.<br /><br />"This is why we have added two assistants for Champions League games this season. With so many cameras that can pick up incidents: the more eyes there are to assist the referee, the better the chance of spotting those incidents."
