Frank Lampard is looking forward to seeing new goalline technology in action as Chelsea open their Club World Cup campaign on Thursday.
Criticisms
Other criticisms of the technology include suggestions it undermines the authority of on-field officials.
Lampard said: "I understand (Michel) Platini is trying to evolve the game rather than bring in drastic changes - that's his prerogative.
"But, for me, you need to respect the referee with every decision. We're asking for a clear decision on goals, which is the most important part of the game.
"With the speed of the game at this level, you can't ask any human to make that call correctly every time."
Lampard did agree with UEFA president Platini that the use of technology should not be extended.
"If you tried to use it everywhere then Platini would be right," he said. "On this one, I very much think it should be brought in, but that's it."
Balls
One issue raised by Lampard's team-mate Gary Cahill was that the balls, which with GoalRef will include a mirco-chip, seem harder.
"It just felt like it was heavy," said Cahill.
"The lads might have pumped the ball up too much. But they are all right. We have played with them for the last few days so everyone is fine with them now.
"It determines 100 per cent whether it is a goal or not, so it is a positive thing. It also helps the referees because their job is hard enough as it is.
"So it is good to have a little helping hand which ultimately concerns huge moments in the game and huge turning points in the game."
