Today, in the Bundesliga arena, there was a bizarre penalty. This leads to two interesting past events...
In the 38th minute of the match between Kiel and Bochum, the Bochum player shot low inside the opponent's penalty area, the ball deviated from the goal, and it looked like it was about to fly out of the bottom line, and the Kiel substitute Ebwin, who was warming up on the sidelines, was just near the bottom line, and he subconsciously reached out and stopped the ball, but did not realize that because he was too close to the field, the ball had not completely left the field.
Unfortunately, the FIFA Council amended a rule in 2017 that stipulates that if a match is affected by the entry of team officials, substitute players, substitutes or substituted players into the field, the game will be blown off and a direct free kick will be awarded at the place of foul play, and if this occurs in the penalty area, a penalty will be awarded.
Ebowing's foot is between the bottom line and the bottom line, but what is even more unfortunate is that the Bundesliga has also popularized the var video assistant refereeing technology, and when the referee confirmed after watching var, the ball was not out of bounds when Ebowing stopped the ball, so Kiel was awarded a penalty. Bochum striker Gonravo, who had just deflected the ball, kicked the ball firmly in and equalised. However, in the end, Bochum conceded another goal and lost the game 1-2.
Similar bizarre penalty awards are rare even in international football. A similar example occurred in an international friendly match between Denmark and Iran in 2003. When the game progressed to the 45th minute of the first half, there was a whistle on the pitch. The Iranian player did not notice the "wild whistle" from the stands instead of the referee, mistakenly thinking that the game was over in the first half, so he went into the box and picked up the ball, intending to give it to the referee. When the South Korean referee was seen to make a penalty decision, the Iranian players came forward to explain, but to no avail.
Unlike today's Bundesliga match, what happened next is the main thing that goes down in history. Upon confirming that the team had received the penalty, Danish captain Morten Wieghorst walked to his coach's bench and consulted with head coach Olsen, and the two agreed that the team should not score in this way. As a result, Wighorst stepped forward and deliberately kicked the ball away, and Iran eventually beat Denmark 1-0. The Danish team's sportsmanship was widely praised.
Of course, then again, bochum players chose to score penalties without breaking the rules, and the Danish team deliberately lost the penalty, probably because the game was just an innocuous friendly - don't forget that the Danes had made it possible to ensure a 2-2 classic suspected tacit tie with Sweden in order to ensure qualification in the group stage of euro 2004, and the two teams just joined hands with a "perfect score", and italy was eliminated.
When giving up a low-hanging fruit comes at a huge price, this "fair play" spirit is clearly more memorable.
A month ago, FIFA's annual Fair Play Award was awarded to Argentine coach Bielsa. In a major play in the Championship last season, he coached Leeds United against Villa, and Leeds United player Collic did not kick the ball out of bounds when the opposing player fell to the ground injured, but continued to dribble the ball and successfully scored.
The goal sparked a clash between the two sides on the pitch, with Leeds United manager Bielsa then ordering his players to abandon defence and allow Villa to score another goal.
Because of this draw, Leeds United lost the early round to advance directly to the Premier League and lost in the subsequent play-offs, losing a Premier League ticket worth at least tens of millions of pounds.
FIFA wrote in its speech: "Football on this planet, many people are thinking about winning the final championship, seeing it as the only purpose of competitive sports. For others, however, some values may be higher than those that bring victory, and Bielsa is one of them..."
Of course, from the standpoint of Leeds United fans, Bielsa's move is more like a pity for others. Bielsa himself was quite troubled, he did not attend the award ceremony of the milan superstar, and asked the captain who received the award on his behalf, Cooper, to ask the Leeds fans for understanding.
This season's Championship, Leeds United is currently in second place, I hope that Bielsa can take Leeds United to the Premier League this year, so that this fair play story will come to a perfect end!
Do you think this penalty should be awarded? Radio
0 people 0% should not be judged. The substitutes didn't actually interfere with the game, and the ball wouldn't have been scored in the first place
0 people 0% of the sentence. By the rules, there's nothing wrong with that
0 people 0% should not be judged. Imagine if it were a World Cup match, would the referee still dare to be a chicken feather? vote
