Borussia Dortmund against Ajax is very crucial for both teams, and if Ajax wins this battle, their lead will come to 6 points, coupled with the huge advantage in goal difference, the pressure on the team's last two rounds will be extremely small and can be rotated. Dortmund, who has accumulated 6 points, also needs this victory to maintain a leading edge over Portuguese sports and allow himself to at least occupy an active side. It was supposed to be a great game, but unfortunately, it was ruined by a third party on the court, yes, referring to referee Oliver.
The controversial penalty appeared in the 29th minute of the game, when Ajax launched an attack at the back, Anthony received a wonderful ball in a row and took wolf who pounced on the front, and Hummels, who assisted in defending behind him, quickly followed up with the shovel, but due to Anthony's superb dribbling skills, Hummels did not shovel the ball, but brought down Anthony, which was a foul that was undoubtedly on the big side, but considering that Hummels did not shovel people, and the shoes have not been close to the ground and have not lifted their feet, In the case that the actions are very clear, Hummels' tackle should be a yellow card action, whether from the result or from the motivation theory, and Hummels himself, whose tackle was hidden and stepped on by Anthony, also helplessly spread his hands, watching the next door's superb acting skills on the ground while wailing and rolling while secretly observing Anthony also made a diving gesture.
But the referee on duty, Oliver, seems to have been tricked by Anthony, and suddenly and decisively showed straight red to send Hummels off, in fact, just showing a red card is also fine, because according to the rules of VAR, VAR has the right to intervene in the direct red penalty and suggest that the referee look back. But very outrageously, Oliver seems to have turned into a stake, although listening to the report in the headphones, but he has no intention of going to the front of VAR, and in the end he also insisted on his own sentence, and Hummels was directly punished. In the follow-up game, although Reus scored first through penalties, he was in a contraction defensive posture for a long time, which was really not what they were good at for the general defender Dortmund, and in the end they were reversed by Ajax, helplessly losing 1-3.
Oliver's outrageous points were not over, Bellingham's infringed penalty was due to the video assistant referee's reminder, and in the second half Reus was put down by a similar move, Oliver did not even blow. No wonder Hummels was directly angry in an interview after the game, saying: "I don't understand how as a Champions League-level referee, how to make such a red card decision? I think he should go and see the replay and then give a yellow card. His penalty changed today's game and I think he knows that. ”
In fact, fans who have been watching the Premier League and watched many oliver blow penalty games should know that Oliver is a more stubborn referee. As long as he makes a penalty, in fact, he rarely changes the sentence, and can only say that this is an extremely confident referee. And after this game, the Premier League at the weekend, he will enforce the derby battle between Manchester United and Manchester City, hoping that Oliver will not steal the scene and blow out a wonderful game.
