Vn88 calls Edouard Mendy a Criminal
Bringing bad form at Chelsea to the national team, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made two mistakes that caused Senegal to lose 0-2 to the Netherlands in the opening match of Group A World Cup 2022 on the night of November 21 (Hanoi time) – Vn88 mobile reported
Senegal created a good game against a more appreciated Dutch team. Even in terms of opportunities, the African representative is slightly better. However, Mendy ruined Senegal’s calculations before the “orange whirlwind”.
In a favorable development for Vn88cx, Mendy twice handled the error ball, causing the home team to fail. The 30-year-old goalkeeper had a match day that could not be more disappointing.
Before Cody Gakpo scored the opening goal, the Netherlands did not have any shots on target. Coach Louis van Gaal’s army was completely stuck in finding a way into the Senegal goal.
And then the turning point came in the 84th minute. Frenkie de Jong poured the ball beautifully into the Senegal penalty area. At the same time, Gakpo dashed away like a powerful drill and headed home to open the scoring.
The coach of this team shared with vn88.cx: In the past, player celebrations or injuries were considered a valid form of buying time. Because the table referees and the referee both tend to estimate the time the ball is dead to add to injury time.
Football is not futsal, where dead ball times are well calculated and there is a countdown timer. That’s why coaches often argue about why this referee added less (or more) time at the end of the game. Not far away, in Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Man City in the 11th round of the Premier League this season, Pep Guardiola was not satisfied with the referee team when they only gave the match 6 minutes of injury time.
In the context of Man City being led at the end of the game, Pep believes that the match should be added to more time because of previous incidents (VAR, scuffle). The Catalan strategist Vn88 mobile also hinted at this because this match took place at Anfield, so the referees were afraid of pressure from Liverpool fans. In the past, Sir Alex Ferguson was also a famous strategist in the aspect of pressuring the referees, to earn extra time in favor of his team.
More attractive and fair
However, at the 2022 World Cup, the referees will have to make absolutely correct time for the time the ball stops rolling in the match. Collina stated: “What we want to do is accurately calculate the extra time at the end of each half. This is what the fourth referee can do, we have succeeded in Russia and expect the same. in Qatar”.
The famous black shirt king” further explained: “When I was a referee, when the information (about injury time) came from the fourth referee, the referee was often too focused on what was happening on the pitch. therefore cannot be considered accurately.
FIFA’s increase in the accuracy of injury time (mainly increasing the number of minutes the ball rolls) is part of the organization’s plan to change football. The director of the VN88 label who wants to develop FIFA football, Arsene Wenger, is very supportive of the idea of increasing the “live ball” time to make the matches more attractive.
Last year, the former Arsenal manager proposed the idea of putting a futsal-like countdown timer in football. The “Professor” wants the teams not to continue their tricks to buy time or waste time. The speed of the game can therefore be pushed higher.
The leader of FIFA wants faster matches, more attacking situations and more goals. The fact that the referees increased injury time in the 2022 World Cup is the initial adjustment to increase the attractiveness of the matches.
As the staff present at the yard of Vn88.cx daily said: Thanks to 27 minutes of injury time in two halves, the England and Iran match had a total of 8 goals, of which 2 came from extra time. In the match Senegal lost to the Netherlands 0-2, the scoring goal of “Orange whirlwind” also came in 90+9 extra time.
In addition, when players and coaches know that traditional time-consuming tricks such as fake injuries or long celebrations are no longer as effective as before, the “dead ball” time can be reduced and the match will be played. with higher speed.
It is undeniable that it is a good coordination situation of the Dutch duo. However, Mendy is clearly responsible. He hesitated and appeared indecisive when intercepting. While rushing out, the Chelsea goalkeeper misjudged the drop point. He paused for a beat, instead of decisively punching the ball to save.
