The slow motion of a football field. After the introduction of goal-line technology, the sport that – in its present form – for over a century was jealous guardian of its traditions, yet it accelerates towards the future and is preparing to live a Copernican revolution. The March 5, 2016 enters rightfully in the history of football. On this date the “keepers” of the laws, the eight members of the International Football Association Board (IFAB the four of FIFA and the four British associations), meeting in Cardiff (Wales) on the occasion of the 130 / a general meeting, have decided by a majority of slow-motion testing for two years, with the start no later than the 2017-’18 season. They will now have to be selected the championships that entrust it. The president of the Football Association, Glenn Martin, has already anticipated that 13 Federations (including Italian) have expressed their interest. The replays will be called officially “video assistance” and the last word on when to make use of it will be more and the arbitrator. Four selected cases in which will help the decision of the referee: goals doubt, red cards, penalties and mistaken identity. All circumstances that may influence decisively the outcome of the match. “The goal – explained the IFAB – is not reaching the infallibility, but clearly avoiding bad choices.” It ‘expected a “assistant video” that can view replays during the game, the referee on request. But also communicate an incident that could be his escape. Will be entrusted to a university research on the impact not just arbitrage, but in general on the game itself, on an emotional level. The trial will be divided into two phases: the first “non-live” with training of the arbitrators; a second field, from life. “We took a really historic decision. IFAB and FIFA are continuing to discuss the issue, and the debate will not stop today – said the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino – We have shown that we are listening to the fans and the players required, applying common sense . we have to be cautious, but we are making concrete steps to show that it is a new era. ” “Great satisfaction” expressed the president of the FIGC, Carlo Tavecchio: “We look forward to know the times and operating modes, but I am convinced that this openness leads the football world in a more modern dimension.” The “turning point” spoke the AIA president Marcello Nicchi. In what the same IFAB has called “the most extensive review of the rules in the 130 years of its history”, other important innovations have been introduced. Of all those on the “triple punishment” when a clear foul in the area of chance on goal, taking expulsion penalty and disqualification. Unanimously it was decided that if the goalkeeper or defender, in trying to catch the ball makes a contrast correctly but does fail, there will be no expulsion, but only a yellow. In all other cases, such as the violent game or a goal denied, there will be a red card. This rule will come into force from June 1, in time for the European Championship in France, and will be subject to a probationary period of two years. Green light to the experimentation of a fourth substitution in extra. The kickoff of the game can be in any direction (even backwards) and who was fouled by yellow (or red) will be rescued in the field, rather than go out and leave the team outnumbered.
