The International Football Association Committee (IFAB) officially updated after the unrestified sentence of the game law Atlético MadridJulian Alvarez against real Madrid Champions League Last March. The new illumination changes the gap “double touches” in criminal criminals.
According to the previous interpretation of the law, Alvarez’s penalty was equalized at the 2-2 shooting score, Var Review revealed that he was standing on the ball and reached his right. The judge has sentenced to Szymon Marciniak and Atlético ultimately lost the shooting players.
The event sparked the immediate protest by the Atlético players and staff, discussing Diego Simeone, the post-match, the penalty should be standing in the “ball not moved” to Alvarez’s foot standing. It reproduces slow movements, however, he proved the ball can It moved, according to Article 14.1, according to what he said before:
“Kicker doesn’t have to touch the ball again with another player. The penalty kick is performed when the ball moves, it comes out of the player or stops the referees for any offense.”
Atlético then provided a formal complaint to UEFA and the review of the law. The UEFA confirmed that the Account would lift the topic with FIFA and IFAB – and now he has reviewed the rules of governmental organisms in charge of football laws.
Change the rule
In a circular issued, IFAB clarified the law that double accidents will not automatically, in shots or open games that will not be disappointed. Instead, if a player touches the ball with two feet (eg due to slip), and the ball into the goal, the penalty must be confirmed.
“(When) the penalty shooter kicks the ball with two feet at the same time or touches the foot or a leg immediately: if the shot is a success It reads the circular. “If the shot is successful, if the indirect free kick is given (unless the team of defending the team is clear) or, in the case of penalties (criminal shot), the kick has lost.”
The document is advanced to explain that the pre-established judges follow the reasonable interpretation of the law.
“This situation is rare, and 14. Since there is no directly covered in the law, he has been a trend to punish the shooter before being touched by the ball again, so before giving the opposite free kick or, in the case of punishment (throwing penalty).”
However, IFAB deliberately distinguishes the second touches, such as the player, unintentional, when the shooter slips or makes a mistake, a unwanted bounce is striking.
“It is very different from the criminal pick-up ball after two feet or touching a foot or leg, because they usually slip.”
However, the statement emphasized that there should be no double touches such as such unexpected, because the goalkeeper can be deceived or disadvantage:
“It wouldn’t be unexpectedly punished in a double touch if it would be unfair, if you change the route of the goalkeeper.”
