Schiri veaser in the victory of the DFB women

Germany moved into the quarter -finals at the European Championships. But the 2-1 win over Denmark was overshadowed by several controversial scenes.

Schiri -ärger at the game of the DFB women: Several controversial scenes after the game against Denmark caused heated discussions. A total of four scenes brought the minds in the 2-1 win of the German football women on and next to the field.

The video assistant was used three times: a German goal was revoked due to offside, a penalty was withdrawn and finally the DFB team was awarded another penalty. The decisions were correct in the matter, but both players and coaches criticized the long duration of the reviews by the video assistant. Sometimes the players stood on the lawn for minutes and waited for a result of the video check.

Germany’s midfielder Linda Dallmann expressed her displeasure: “It is of course annoying if you stand for a decision for five minutes, she said” Bild “. The situation for Sjoeke Nüsken was particularly annoying: The midfielder was already at the penalty point with the ball before the impartial is taken back.

In view of the long waiting time, national coach Christian Wück demanded faster decision-making processes at the VAR check: “This is a fader aftertaste that takes so long. We have to see in both men and women’s football that we make such decisions faster.”

Before the decisive 2-1, the scene caused the German team for additional trouble. A Danish player had shot the ball in the face from a short distance from her teammate Emma Snerle. This went dazed to the ground – but the game ran and Germany met by Lea Schüller to make a preliminary decision. The Danish Snerle had to be replaced after the head hit from a short distance.

Striker Amalie Vangsgaard criticized: “It is a shame that we have referees who cannot take responsibility for the players on the field.” Denmark coach Andree Jeglertz also called for clearer rules for head injuries.

DFB goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger, on the other hand, defended the decision of the referee team: “You have to be able to assess whether it is a serious head injury. There are simply gray areas and you can’t do it right.” According to the rules, the referee’s discretion is whether and when she interrupts in a head hit. If there is suspicion of a serious head injury (such as a concussion), the referees are kept to interrupt the game and let medical staff on the pitch.
