Unusual post from the Bochum goalkeeper |
That’s why this penalty whistle is bad for football!
Again fuss about the video assistant!
In Freiburg’s 1-0 win against Bochum, the game-winning penalty scene after the game caused a lot of discussion and anger on the part of the guests.
What happened? Bochum keeper Manuel Riemann (33) slipped the ball out of his hands after a cross, whereupon he grabbed Sallai’s pants. Referee Fritz let the game continue until video referee Guido Winkmann intervened.
After the hint, Fritz watched the scene on the screen again and decided on a penalty, which Grifo sunk in the second margin to win.
In particular, Riemann, who caused the penalty, still had a thick neck after the game and made an unusual post on Instagram on Saturday night.
Riemann: “We say on the one hand he is doing it cleverly and on the other hand it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize a clear foul. For my part, I can say I pull him by his pants and vlt. the rules give you an 11 m, but really only maybe.”
Continue: “But I also see that I pull the player backwards and he jumps off with both legs and falls forward. This is not a normal movement for a foul play. Everyone can evaluate the situation for themselves, but I think it’s wrong to give 11 m for something like that. Because then we soon come to a point where there must be 11 m after every corner. In my opinion, the wrong sign for our great sport.”
An unusual contribution for a football professional, because it also goes beyond the usual phrase-mongering!
Coach Thomas Reis (48) became clear immediately after the game, saying: “I stand by my opinion. It’s not a clear wrong decision by the referee.”
According to the rules, the prerequisite for the video assistant to intervene is that there must be a clear and obvious wrong decision by the referee on the pitch. Reis on this: “If you look at the TV pictures, after a few repetitions you can see a grab on the Buxe. But the player just does it cleverly.”
It’s the next VAR excitement at the start of the 4th matchday!
Already on the first day of the game between Cologne and Schalke (disputed red card, offside goal), in Frankfurt’s game at Hertha BSC (Borré penalty withdrawn) and last weekend in the duel between Eintracht and Cologne (Cologne’s equalizer counts despite being offside), there were sometimes violent ones Discussions and criticism of the video assistant.
The next VAR trouble followed in Freiburg.
