The Most Cruel Offside' in Soccer History Came out 3mm? 4mm? Because my Feet are Wide Birthday Celebration Canceled

said 'one thing' Did I do it? The strictest offside foul in soccer history was declared.

The player who became the VAR 'scapegoat was Italian Serie A Empoli fullback Tyrone Ebuehi. He started as a starter in the away game against Turin in the 16th round of the 2023/24 Italian Serie A held on the 17th (Korean time).

In the 25th minute of the first half, Torino took a 1-0 lead thanks to Duvan Zapata's header. Immediately, Empoli also launched a counterattack. Ebuehi scored in the 30th minute of the first half. A high ball from a corner kick taken by Empoli hit central defender Ardian Ismaili's head, but did not result in a goal. At this time, Empoli defender Sebastiano Ruperto, who was right next to him, kicked the ball in front of the Turin goal. Ebuehi, who was rushing, tapped it and scored the equalizer. 바카라사이트닷컴

However, the Torino players immediately raised their arms high and appealed for offside.

VAR later ruled that Ebuehi had committed offside. The problem is that this offside was only a few millimeters away. Italian soccer media outlet Football Italia reported the news and said, "According to the semi-automatic offside detection technology implemented by Serie A, part of Ebuehi's boots were ahead of the final defender." a> In the end, Empoli was unable to overturn the one-point gap and lost 0-1. In many ways, it was a dramatic cancellation of the score. The day the game was held was Ebuhi's 28th birthday. Ebuehi, who joined Empoli ahead of the 2022/23 season, could have scored the third goal of his Serie A career through this goal, but failed. The story is that a tiny protrusion, invisible at first glance, destroyed the Ebuhi goal.

According to photos released by Serie A during the game, it can be seen that Ebuehi's entire left arm, as well as the side of his foot, had a slight bulge. In the case of the left arm, it is not considered in the offside decision factor because it is not a body part that can score points, but it is considered because it can score points with the foot.

Empoli coach Aurelio Andreazzoli put an end to the situation by laughing it off rather than complaining about the score being canceled after the game.

At a press conference, he said, "Ebuehi seems to have a little wide feet," and added, "I would like to know more about whether the '6 second rule' (where the goalkeeper must release the ball within 6 seconds after catching it) is being followed well." I wanted to check. He said, “After all, rules are rules, so you have to follow them.” The meaning was, why are offsides judged so harshly when other rules are not strictly observed?

The semi-automatic offside system, which Serie A introduced in January 2023, began to be officially used at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. According to FIFA, the semi-automatic offside technology sends an immediate warning to the VAR room when an offside occurs and provides 3D images to fans and TV viewers in the stadium to aid understanding.

A sensor attached to the center of the ball sends a signal 500 times per second to inform the ball's coordinates, and 12 dedicated cameras installed on the roof of the stadium follow and track the ball.

Next, 29 body parts that can score goals are designated and tracked for each player, and in the event of an offside, the coordinates when the ball departs and the coordinates of the body parts of the player who scored the goal are organized into an image in detail. Ebuehi's score cancellation was also done under thorough review.

The Premier League has also recently positively reviewed the introduction of semi-automatic offside technology, and it is expected that the technology will improve the league's decision-making level in the near future.

Former referee Howard Webb, chairman of the British Football Officials' Organization (PGMOL), said last November that "the technology is currently being tested" and "we are positively considering its introduction." In particular, considering that Liverpool's goal against Tottenham Hotspur was canceled in the 7th round of the Premier League due to an offside error in the VAR room, the semi-automatic offside technology appears to be the Premier League's intention to eliminate controversial decisions.
