Among the changes announced by a hill also an advanced version of the semi -automatic offside. Promise greater severity against time loss
It is not a revolution but a nice step forward, yes. In many respects: regulatory, technological and above all of the show. Yesterday, the president of the FIFA referee commission Pierluigi Collina by videoconference explained what will be the referee innovations that we will see at the first edition of the Club World Cup that will start on June 14 at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium after an inauguration ceremony that promises to be a phantasmagoric. The 32 large clubs that will participate will allow many Italian fans to take sides, not only Juventus and Inter who will try to go as far as possible in the tournament. Not even to say, the arbitration issues will be the subject of discussions and controversies.
New perspective
–
Here then is the first sugar from Fifa for the fans, whether at the stadium and live on a planetary mixer they will be able to enjoy exclusive images from a bodycam worn by the referee and integrated into the central system together with the live images, replay and highlights. All the race directors will be equipped with a small camera positioned on the eye level. Not everything will be shown. The images will first be checked and only non -controversial ones will be transmitted: the most spectacular obvious, such as the signature of a network, will enjoy an unpublished perspective. Staying in the field of “entertainment”, the movies and images used during the review of the monitor will be broadcast live on the Maxiskear of the stadiums. And once the revision is finished, the same race director will announce the reasons that led him to the decision. A novelty that had also been announced this year in Italy for semifinals and finals of the Italian Cup, but which unfortunately has never occurred.
Almost automatic
–
The technological implementation will also concern a new version of the Soot, the semi -automatic offside. As Collina explains, “the system will send an instant audio notification to the assistant in case of irregular position so that they can immediately raise the flag”. Obviously, there is only talk of obvious cases, everything else continues to remain under the jurisdiction of the Var. Even the staff of the clubs will have benefits – and perhaps also the game, which will be speeded up – since, in the replacement procedure, all the paper material will be replaced by a tablet provided to the two teams before the starting whistle.
Fluid game
–
We then enter the most technical aspects, where the primary focus is to eliminate the waste of time and make the game more fluid and usable for the viewer. Change the rule, or rather the time available to the goalkeeper to hold the ball in hand. First there were six seconds and eight now. But how, then you waste time? No, the referees in the field will be much more rigid than once (“in many cases it reached 20-25 seconds,” said Collina). Once the goalkeeper blocks the ball, the referee will begin to count in mind, and arrives at -5 seconds he will raise his arm and in front of everyone he will make the countdown with his fingers. If you go beyond 8 seconds, corner kick for the opponent. Collina is very sensitive to waste of time, “there is nothing funny when the ball does not flow on the pitch – he explained – and we cannot afford to have games with 42 minutes of effective time”. Therefore new arbitration approach to make the situations of non-gioco such as non-serious injuries, lateral and the bottom, kicks, kicks.
Double touch
–
In the event of a double touch in the penalty kick, it is introduced into the concept of accidental and voluntary. In the first case, the shot is repeated if he finished on the net and if he is not a goal, the opposing team will enjoy an indirect punishment; If the double touch is voluntary, indirect punishment. Finally, greater centrality to the role of Captain, the only player in charge of talking to the race director and keeping his companions far away, avoiding unpleasant cases of encircling and harassment.
