Turkey's European Championship opener with Italy, several penalties from the referee team are confusing. Aside from Celik's unjudiced handball, an Italian corner offside in the first half was confusing.
Towards the end of the first half, Italy was awarded a corner kick opportunity, and Insigne opted for a short corner and handed the ball over to Bellardi, who then transferred the ball to the flank Jorginho. However, at this time, the referee raised the flag to indicate offside, which even confused many experts involved in the interpretation work. Italian captain Chiellini also found the referee for the first time to communicate, and the referee did not change the decision.
From the position point of view, Berardi is indeed in the "offside" position when he gets the ball, but according to the rules of football, Berardi's "offside" is within the allowed range of the rules. Because according to the rules, the player directly receives the goal ball, corner kick, out-of-bounds ball without offside.
However, it has also been pointed out that the reason for not being offside when opening a corner is due to the fact that the ball coincides with the bottom line, so the offside line is the bottom line, but Berardi received the ball before the field, even in front of the football, which is the only reason for his offside, he is in front of the ball before Verratti passes the ball, so it constitutes offside.
Italy's original tactical idea may have been for Berardi to draw the attention of the defense with a false shot, and then for Insigne to open the corner, but the latter directly chose to give the ball to Berardi, constituting this outrageous offside.
Italy's offside corner is also reminiscent of a Chinese Olympic match in 2020, in which Chen Binbin and Duan Liuyu prepared to open a tactical corner. However, when Chen Binbin handed the ball to Duan Liuyu, he was already in an offside position, but he still got up and crossed after his teammates stopped the ball. This scene happened right under the eyes of the referee, who decisively punished the Chinese team for offside.
Although the situation is not the same, the offside of the corners of Italy and the National Olympic Games are classic mistakes.
