On June 30, Beijing time, after a big battle, the host German team finally defeated the strong rival Denmark 2:0 and became the first traditional strong team to advance to the knockout stage of the European Cup.
However, the referee and VAR caused a huge controversy in this game, they were directly involved in and interfered with the four goals of the game, of which a full three were blown away, and one more penalty was conceded. Isn't it a bit too boring that so-called technology can interfere so much with the outcome of a game in a powerful conversation? Isn't competitive sports a bit less intense because of this?
The score was 2:0 at full-time, but there was only one goal in the real sense without referee intervention, and that was Musiala's goal in the 68th minute. At that time, teammate Schlotterbeck gave him an assist and passed the ball directly in the backfield, so there was no offside, so the referee did not participate in it and did not interfere, but it was this goal, and all the remaining balls were related to the referee and VAR technology.
It may not be said which side the referee is, after all, the German team was also blown away by high-tech 2 goals, Germany had already scored in the first four minutes, it was the German team's Slotterbeck who inserted into the penalty area at the back, received Kroos's corner kick to complete the header, and was immediately blown off by the referee, on the grounds that when Kimmich covered him again, he knocked the opponent down and fouled, which was the first ball blown by the referee.
Then the referee stepped in to blow away the second goal, a goal from Denmark, and after the start of the second half, the Danish team suffered an unprecedented injustice and ushered in a polar reversal. In just five minutes, Denmark's defender Anderson had already scored in the 49th minute, but the referee came to blow for a void, and the VAR replay showed that he was offside for a foul.
In fact, his offside position in this ball is at most the distance of a toenail in the offside position, and it may not even be so much, and he blew it off, and I really don't know what to say. Not to mention blowing two balls in a row, in the 52nd minute, it was this Anderson who gave away a penalty when defending Germany's Raum cross.
But at that time, the referee didn't make a judgment at all, and after a while, under the frantic protests of the German team, the referee went to watch the replay, and then found that it seemed to have rubbed his fingertips, and made up a penalty for the German team. The goal was blown away by high technology, and now the penalty was also given by high technology, and the German team scored the goal to take the lead. In just five minutes, Denmark went from 1:0 to 0:1, and technology was fully involved in two goals.
The scene-stealing between VAR and referee continues, after these two crazy controversial whistles. In the 90th minute of the second half, Wirtz had pushed the goal in the counterattack, but the referee continued to signal that there was no celebration, and then came over to show me the replay, which showed that it was offside again for a long time, and blew off a goal. In a game, the video replay equipment alone blew off 3 balls and gave away 1 penalty, which is equivalent to directly creating the appearance or disappearance of 4 balls.
Isn't this game completely interfered with by high technology? Especially in the two rounds of Denmark, the offside position crossed the toe, and the defense rubbed a finger. It is because the so-called referee and VAR high-tech are involved too much in this game, which directly leads to the fact that after each player's goal, first celebrate, just after the celebration, he subconsciously looked at the referee, for fear of being blown into the goal again, he didn't dare to celebrate, he had to go to the referee to see how the referee judged.
This is completely different from the previous football, which is equivalent to saying that the protagonist is no longer the player, but the referee and high technology. After reading it, the referee nodded before he dared to celebrate, so do you say this is still a player-led field? It can only be said that a wonderful offensive battle, it is a pity to be blown like this by the referee, if the balls blown off on both sides are counted, there is no penalty and handball, and there are no balls blown off by the referee, then the German team should actually be 3:1, the two sides are still two goals apart, and both sides will be convinced.
