A netizen left us a message in the background, consulted the following question, the player of the party (non-goalkeeper) in the absence of any confrontation to force the ball deliberately kicked high, and then by another player of the side of the ball with the head to the goalkeeper, at this time the opponent felt that the ball is a "return pass ball", the goalkeeper can not be picked up by hand, but the goalkeeper is picked up by hand. After the appeal, the referee on duty explained that "the ball given to the goalkeeper with the top of his head can be picked up by hand"
The netizen asked us whether the basis for this sentence and rule is correct? Let's take a look at our elaboration, this article only represents the referee's magnifying glass point of view.
First of all, let's first look at the explanation of the referee on duty, who explains that "the ball given to the goalkeeper with the head can be picked up by hand", the referee on duty here is the same team member who uses the same team to deliberately kick the ball to the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper can not use his hand to pick up, otherwise he must punish the goalkeeper for illegal handball in the penalty area, and the deliberate kick here refers to the foot, so above the knee, with the top of the head to the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper can certainly not be punished for illegal handball in the goalkeeper's penalty area.
However, the referee on duty ignored another key point, that is, the teammate deliberately initiated a trick to pass the ball to the goalkeeper with the head, chest, knee and other parts to evade the penalty of the relevant provisions of the rules. In the above description of this problem, it is obvious that the two teammates cooperated to deliberately use a trick to pass the ball to the goalkeeper, so in the editor's opinion, regardless of whether the goalkeeper touched the ball with his hand, the person who initiated the use of the trick should be punished.
So the question is, who should be punished in this case? The rules speak of the trickster initiator, and in this case there are three "participants", one is the person who picks up the ball, one is the person who gives the top of the head to the goalkeeper, and the other is the goalkeeper. As far as this case description is concerned, the defender deliberately raises the ball in the case of pressing, which is not in line with the technical action and purpose of the normal game, the purpose of this behavior is to let the teammate give the top of the ball to the goalkeeper to evade the rule penalty, we believe that the person who provoked the ball should be punished.
In addition, in the past, the goalkeeper deliberately picked the ball to the defender when playing the goalball, and then the defender gave the ball to the goalkeeper. The previous rules did not elaborate on such cases, but only issued a statement that such behavior was not allowed, and when it appeared, the referee should award a penalty for heavy kicking of the goalball without punishing the goalkeeper. But since the 2021-2022 version of the Football Competition Rules, it is clear that such behavior must be punished, awarded indirect free kicks, and punished the initiator of the trick!
