10月14日,知名前英格兰足球裁判马克·哈尔西在《太阳报》的专访中,对曼联队后卫约罗在欧洲冠军联赛中遭受的红牌进行了讨论。

哈尔西评论道:“的确,约罗在欧战客场挑战马德里竞技的过程中遭受红牌,这一判罚引起了广泛的讨论。”

当前观察这一赛事,我坚信裁判员格伦·尼伯格在一场判罚中犯了明显错误,仅仅因为一场微不足道的碰撞,导致马竞队员意外失去平衡倒地。

“此举是否构成违规?抑或并不属于违规行为?”

Upon closer examination, it becomes evident that when examining Rule 12—concerning the act of obstructing a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity—the referee must take into account the distance from the incident to the goal, the direction of the attack—which in my perspective is away from the goal post, the likelihood of maintaining or gaining possession of the ball, and the positioning of the defending players surrounding the event.

目前,我对这一事件的观点是,我对其是否构成显而易见的进球或进球机会持有疑虑。

我坚信,裁判尼伯格最初的判定完全正确。

对此,我深感出乎意料,VAR竟然介入了这一争议,鉴于该事件并非一目了然的失误。

对于该进球是否构成对得分机会的破坏或明显得分机会,仍存在诸多疑问。
