“Diego Armando Minda”, that is how Cercle Brugge striker Minda was called after his world goal in the derby this weekend. His dribbling was indeed impressive, but should it have ever happened? “It is your duty to take down a player for your team in such an action,” the Extra Time panel considers the phase in question.
The best goal of the match day undoubtedly came this weekend in the Jan Breydel Stadium. With a rush of 60 meters, Cercle Brugge striker Minda Alan made it 1-0 against city rivals Club Brugge (see above).
“At that moment I thought: where is he going now with all those Club Brugge players around him?” says privileged witness Hannes Van der Bruggen in Extra Time.
“They will take him down, I kept thinking. But suddenly the ball went in. Okay, the ball bounced just in front of Mignolet and normally he uses his left ankle to get off the bus, but I didn’t see him after the match.” nothing called Diego Armando Minda. What a goal.”
Something happened that you never see nowadays: no one at Club tried to make a mistake.
Gert Verheyen
A beautiful action by the attacker, but above all dramatically defended by Club Brugge – which continued to walk around Minda with three players.
“Something happened that you never see nowadays: no one at Club tried to make a mistake,” Gert Verheyen also saw.
“Why not? Simple. The players around him were the only players who also dreamed of such a goal: Nusa, Skov Olsen and De Cuyper …”, says Filip Joos.
“Indeed, if it had been Burgess and Mac Allister, he would never have made it to the center line. Those two would have fought to take him down,” Verheyen winks conclusively.
3-on-1.
Bystander effect
Morally, such a cynical mistake is difficult to justify, but the end seems to justify the means – as often happens on a football field – in the minds of most football players: the penalty is often only yellow.
“Well, it’s part of football to take down a player in such a situation. Card or no card. Red or yellow. It’s your duty to stop that player for your team,” says Arnar Vidarsson.
“Did you take him down?”, Vidarsson seeks confirmation from Van der Bruggen.
“If I could follow him, then yes,” he jokes. “It is also not the first time that he has done such an action. We have seen him do it before in training.”
Were there too many of the Club players on site?
Philip Joos
The following Club players simply let themselves be caught by the classic bystander effect, according to Filip Joos.
“If you fall on the street and there is one person walking nearby, there is a good chance that he will help you. If there are twenty people walking, the chance that someone will intervene is much smaller. This has already been proven and has also happened. on Jan Breydel’s field. Weren’t there too many of the Club players on site?”
“Certainly, that often happens with a wing player who wants to make an action,” Verheyen explains. “Then a second defender usually comes to help, but who intervenes? Often those wing attackers even prefer that. The good ones, at least.”
A retro clip of Saeed Al-Owairan who dribbled our Red Devils into a pile at the 1994 World Cup proves that the bystander effect is timeless.
