Manchester United was tied by Newcastle United in Premier League 0-0. A penalty from referee Craig Bowson became the focus of discussion among fans around the world. Red Devils Superstar C Ronaldo "stealed" Magpies goalkeeper Nick Pope's free kick , and then sent the ball into the net. The referee quickly announced that the goal was invalid, while Ronaldo and his teammates rushed to him to express their dissatisfaction.
Slow motion shows that after the referee gave Newcastle a free kick in the backcourt, the team's central defender Fabian Schell kicked the ball backward and handed it to goalkeeper Pope. So, does this touch of the ball mean that the game has resumed?
Newcastle players obviously don't think so. Pope watched Ronaldo approaching and was indifferent, clearly thinking that he had not kicked off yet. Manchester United believes that the ball has been rolling for a week and is no longer in a dead ball, so Ronaldo's score should be effective.
Senior Manchester United fans will recall another Portuguese star, Nani , scored against Tottenham on October 30, 2010. At that time, Manchester United defeated his opponent 2-0, and Nani scored a controversial goal in 84 minutes.
In a Manchester United attack, Nani was knocked down by the defender in the penalty area, and he hugged the ball directly with his hands. Then Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez got the ball. He thought Nani had a handball foul, so he threw the ball to the ground to prepare for a free kick. But Nani, who was walking back from the bottom line, suddenly "sneak attack". He came to the ball and turned his head to look at the referee. Seeing that the opponent did not express his feelings, he kicked the ball into the net.
Referee Mark Kratenberg After discussing with the lineman, he said that he did not award a free kick and determined that Nani's goal was valid. The live broadcast screen confirmed that the referee did not make a free kick gesture at that time, but ran away normally. After the game, Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp was furious after the game, saying that the ball was a farce and said that publicly criticized the referee and was not afraid of being punished. If the FA dared to punish him, he would refuse to interview in the future as a fight back.
Frée pointed out that the Tottenham players were smart: "You can only blame Gomez. He was smart before he heard the whistle. Nani also glanced at the referee, but the referee did not make any statement. Nani scored the ball."
But the FA has confirmed that there is no controversy over Bowson's penalty for Ronaldo, because according to relevant rules, the referee's gesture at the time proved that Newcastle had not yet taken a free kick.
According to the rules of the International Football Federation Council (IFAB) game published by the official website of the FA, the provisions in Chapter 13 of the free kick state that when the referee awards indirect free kick, he raises his arm over the top of his head. This gesture will be maintained until the free kick is taken, and the ball has touched another player, goes out of bounds, or is obviously unable to score directly.
live broadcast screen shows that when Schell kicked the ball to Pope's feet, Baosen still stood near the middle circle with his right arm raised. If the referee believes that Schell has already taken the ball, since the free kick is 80 yards away from the goal, the condition of putting down the arm is satisfied, and there is no need to continue to raise the arm.
and the referee continued to raise his hand. This gesture clearly shows that the referee determined that the free kick had not been taken yet, so Ronaldo made a shot and scored the ball into the goal, which was naturally invalid. The 37-year-old Portuguese superstar finally received a yellow card because of his excessive protests.
In fact, no matter how Baosen judged this ball, it will definitely cause controversy after the game, but his raised right arm makes himself invincible because this action ensures that the referee cancels the goal from a law enforcement perspective, and there is no controversy. Newcastle coach Eddie Howe made it clear after the game that if Ronaldo counted the goal, they would not be able to accept it.
Putting aside this "goal" with many different opinions, Manchester United needs to improve the efficiency of seizing opportunities in front of the team as soon as possible. The Red Devils shot 15 times in 90 minutes in this game, but only two shots were directed, as many as their opponents. It is precisely because he couldn't defeat him for a long time that Ronaldo had no choice but to try to score a goal in a slightly clever way.
In the past matches between Manchester United and Liverpool , there was also a controversial penalty. Rooney and Giggs created a goal through a script-style corner kick, which was cancelled by the referee; but then the Red Devils re-tried the corner kick, Vidic headed the ball to the top and scored the goal, and still scored. That is the style of a truly strong team!
