The Board said yes. And this, then, may be the day that will rewrite the history of football. The day on which the video – replays, slow motion … – comes into play. Officially. Because at least in a couple of episodes, the head of Zidane on Materazzi in 2006, and the angle became rigor in Brazil and Morocco in the Confederations 2009, the de facto video has already been used. But today is different. The 130th International Board in Cardiff, Wales, had agenda video experimentation from 2016-17. There is to oppose Platini, Blatter is not to change his mind in the morning. The legislators of the balloon, then, decided to kick off the test, which will last two years. Eventually, the first tournament with the “slow motion” would be Euro 2020. But the protocol – who, what, how – has been defined. And politically, for the new Fifa president Gianni Infantino, is the occasion for a break with the past.
The head of Zidane on Materazzi in 2006: first If terminated by the slow motion. Archive
VIDEO: THE PROTOCOL – Designed and reworked with the two technical panels and experts, the protocol was approved by the Board composed of Fifa (safe Infantino, Villar, the Kattner secretary) and the four British. Served six votes to 8. In the corridors of the hotel St. David’s is whispered that the British had doubts, but did not affect too much on the final vote.
VIDEO : cASE – One thing is sure: the video will not cover all cases. The idea is to apply it after the goal, to assess whether there was foul, ball out, offside; and also for direct expulsion and rigor, that is, incidents that “change” the race. Excluded however is the free kick from the edge of both the admonition. The thing is complicated when, in case of incident that deserves review, the game does not stop. In the protocol there is the possibility to stop if the ball is in an area not “influential”, or wait for a stop (but if the action continues for minutes?). And there’s always the “Challenge” option, that is, that the technicians ask for a video review. One thing is sure: the races will be longer.
VIDEO: TESTING – Not only the video could not solve the case. How many times slow motion television unleashes conflicting interpretations? The last word is up to the referee. And he’ll see the monitor on the sideline, easy to get to. Other problems: who is allowed to view? Technicians? Captains? Difficult. And who manages the filming? If you want to start in August it serves approval today. Italy has confirmed the availability as the Netherlands (where the video has been tested), Brazil, USA, Germany, France, England, Scotland and the Copa America. All could receive the go ahead, to have more answers. But in such tournaments? He decides the Board, not the associations. We need continuity, it does not convince the option very high level (Champions League, Serie A). Most likely domestic cups and B.
DO YOUR HANDS – Video threatens to overshadow the rest of the Board. Beginning with the rewriting of the rules: the text, in English, it will be 12 thousand instead of 22 thousand words. It will have important news. 1) Hand ball: no more “yellow” Automatic, maybe 70 meters from the area, but only if you stop action “effective.” Otherwise just punishment. Also on the word “voluntary”, as in fact has already: it will be a failure if the hand / arm are in an unnatural position (not fair).
THE BENEFIT – 2) “Red” and advantage: today, in the event of disqualifying foul, the referee must blow the whistle, but this can prevent attackers to realize a very important advantage (type open field action). Next year the referee will continue the action and give the “red” only after, when: a) the game stops (goals, off ball); b) the game continues, with the possibility to stop ( “technical stop”) when the player to be expelled is involved in the restart.
CURE IN FIELD – 3) Treatment in the field today, who is fouled from “yellow” (or “red”) left the field leaving the team in 10. A paradox that helps those who foul. Next year, if medical care will not be more than 40 “/ minute, the injured must not go out. 4) Expulsion before the kick-off, for serious or violent events in the pre-race. 5) Penalty from outside field: just like that, if a player tries to slow down the other’s return to the field, with the ball in play, after leaving in the heat, in addition to the admonition will no longer jump ball but kick (or penalty, if in the area). Ditto if one of the bench or doctor enters without permission. 6) punishment of return offside: today the punishment is fighting takes place where the offside, except for reentry offside with the attacker returns to his mid-range (if is beaten in the attacking half field); next year will be beaten again in the actual area.
TRIPLE PENALTY AND 4TH GEAR – it should be the time of the abolition of triple penalty, but you could also go to trial. The idea is not to abolish the entire “red” in case of foul that prevents a clear chance on goal: will remain in case of a violent foul that prevents a goal or “otherwise inevitable” (hand on the line). Also: if you defender or goalkeeper trying to play “honestly” the ball, and fail, will negligence and “yellow”; but if this possibility is not there, “Red.” Possible fourth substitution in extra time. And discussion on the expulsion time, tested favorably in youth tournaments where he stays out 8 ‘/ 10′ who simulates, protest or hold unsportsmanlike conduct.
