Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

"Haha, beautiful!"

Lukaku at the top of the arc in the penalty area raised his arms and shouted with a smile on his face.

"Good job, Ye!"

Lautaro clenched his fists in front of the penalty area and waved towards Ye Chen.

Although they failed to get Ye Chen's pass,

But Ye Chen's pass was right on the wrong side and hit Kolarov's arm, winning a penalty for the team.

Very nice result!

According to the data of instat, a world-renowned sports data company, in professional leagues, the average hit rate of penalty kicks is 76%.

In other words, there is a nearly [-]% chance that a penalty kick will be scored!

For a Serie A powerhouse like Inter Milan, there are many penalty shooters in the team, such as Lukaku, who is very good at taking penalties.

Ye Chen was also very excited.

Make it yourself!

It counts as an assist!

He first reached out to Lukaku and Lautaro, and apologized for not passing the ball in time.

Immediately, the three high-fived each other to celebrate winning a penalty.

However, Kolarov has been complaining to the referee.

"Referee, my arm is close to my body, it shouldn't be a penalty!"

He moved his arms close to his body towards the referee, curled his lips, and looked innocent and aggrieved.

Several Roma players also surrounded the referee, expressing dissatisfaction with the penalty kick.

Because according to the latest rules issued by FIFA,

As long as the defensive player keeps his arms close to his body in the penalty area, it does not count as expanding the defensive area.

A penalty cannot be awarded even if the ball hits the hand or arm.

The referee frowned.

It is difficult for him to make a judgment between the flashes of light and flint.

But seeing the Roma players so excited, it seems that there is indeed a possibility of misjudgment.

The referee asks in the headset:

"Video referee, watch the replay, was it a handball just now?"

Since 2018, Italian football has introduced var.

Var is the abbreviation of English video assistant referee, also known as "video assistant referee", which is served by active referees.

His duty is to provide information to the referee by playing back the video, assist the referee to correct clear and obvious mistakes and missed judgments that change the trend of the game, and improve the accuracy of judgments.

For those important penalties that can change the situation on the field, such as red cards, penalty kicks and goals, as long as there are disputes and the referee is in doubt, he can turn to var for help.

The principle of video referees is that three referees sit in a special video computer room, relying on multiple camera lenses all over the football field, multi-camera, and multi-angle to capture every small movement of the players on the field, so as to achieve "sharp eyes". ".

Compared with the referee's naked eyes, the video referee can watch the slow-speed multi-angle replay, just like the audience watching the replay in front of the TV.

They can see details that the referee cannot see, which is conducive to reducing and correcting misjudgments on the field.

This is a revolutionary change in the history of football development!

While the video referee was watching the replay.

Inter Milan's Lukaku, Lautaro and Brozovic also stepped forward to argue with the referee.

"I still need to watch the replay of this ball? Such an obvious handball!"

"The trajectory of the ball has obviously changed, it must be a penalty kick!"

"Referee, weren't you very firm just now? Don't be misled by the Romans!"

"This is our home court, referee!"

"You don't even give a penalty? Think about it!"

The referee was bored with the players surrounded by both sides, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone back off, everyone back off, I can't hear the video referee's words clearly!"

Facing the chattering players from both sides, the referee chose to walk away.

At this time, the words of the video referee came from his headset:

"The referee, we feel that there is a possibility of a penalty kick. Kolarov's arm is in a raised posture, blocking the trajectory of the ball."

"However, regarding the magnitude of the lift, whether it complies with the latest FIFA regulations, you still need to go to the sidelines to watch it yourself."

The video referee handed over the final decision to the referee.

Generally, when the scale of the offense is ambiguous, the referee needs to go to the sidelines to watch the replay in person.

This is also the pressure stage of var, the referee will watch the video to confirm in person!

"Roger that!"

The referee drew a box in the air with both hands, and then ran to a small screen on the sidelines.

The gesture of this picture frame is to express to the players and the audience that the video referee is not sure, and I want to watch the replay in person!

In the Meazza Stadium, there was an instant booing!

"xu—"

"xu—"

The home fans were outraged.

Such an obvious penalty, the video referee has not seen enough, you still have to watch it in person, is it worth the trouble!

A fat uncle fan wearing a size xxxxl threw the hot dog in his hand to the ground and pointed his middle finger at the referee on the field.

"Trash, you just don't want to give us a penalty. If you have the ability, don't give it away. It's lawless!"

The middle school son next to him clasped his hands behind his head and said with a sneer:

"The Roma players must have interfered with the referee's judgment!"

A beautiful blond girl in a slim low-neck jersey sitting next to her said to herself in conjunction with the traditional Italian gestures:

"Last season, when we played Cagliari, a penalty kick was canceled by var, and this is how we are blackmailed!"

"If you cancel i, just cancel it. At worst, if you score a goal in a sports game, I won't believe it. You can still cancel it at that time!" the blonde girl's boyfriend said disdainfully.

In the studio of China Sports Channel.

The live var playback signal from Italy appeared on the broadcast screen.

This picture can only be seen by the audience watching TV, and the live audience cannot see it on the big screen of the stadium, in order to avoid touching the emotions of the fans.

In the picture, Ye Chen's pass did touch Kolarov's arm.

"Director Zhang, do you think this ball is a penalty?" Duan Xuan asked.

Zhang Lu pondered for a moment, then answered cautiously:

"There is no doubt that the ball hit the arm, and the referee should have awarded a penalty immediately based on this."

"But Kolarov believes that his arm is tightly attached to the torso and does not expand the defensive area. It should not be considered as a handball."

"But the replay shows that although Kolarov's hand is close to his waist, his elbow is in a bent posture, and Ye Chen's pass just hit his elbow!"

"So, whether this ball will be awarded a penalty kick depends on the referee's penalty scale."

Although Zhang Lu said so.

But in my heart, I was extremely looking forward to the referee awarding a penalty.

After all, this is a penalty made by Ye Chen!

……

Meazza stadium scene.

The Inter Milan and Roma players stood in place, waiting for the referee's penalty.

They do not have permission to approach the small screen on the sidelines, that is the right of the referee.

Everyone's hearts hung in their throats.

The Inter players were expecting a penalty.

As long as they get a 2-0 lead, they can completely kill the game!

The Roma players prayed it wasn't a penalty.

After all, the visiting team is only one goal behind, and there is still time to catch up.

Two behind, and it is Inter Milan's home court, it is very difficult to catch up!

The referee watched the replay over and over again.

He kept gesturing to the video referee to slow down the playback.

Finally, watch repeatedly for three seconds before and after the ball touches Kolarov's elbow.

The picture speed keeps dropping frames, like a slideshow.

The referee stared at the screen without saying a word.

Then turned around and ran back to the field.

The eyes of 8 people in the audience were all fixed on him.

What exactly is the result.

Will this ball be a penalty?
