00:00There's a potential handball between Inter and Milan in the last minute of the match, so let's look.
00:04So for handball offenses, there are several factors to look at here.
00:07First of all, the distance from the ball until it hits the arm.
00:10This distance is relatively short, and the ball should not be seen as completely expected.
00:14And, if you look at the position of the arm, it is in a natural position from the beginning,
00:18but when the ball comes, it extends a bit towards the ball, but then it's pulled back again.
00:23However, when you look at handball situations in super slow motion,
00:26it will seem like a player has plenty of time to react and makes a deliberate motion.
00:31I think this is a clear case of a reaction time and then a reflex motion.
00:36This player reacts to the ball coming towards him and makes a reflex motion with the arm
00:39as he's trying to pull back the arm to avoid being hit by the ball.
00:42I do not think this is a case of a deliberate handball offense,
00:45because when you look at it in real speed, the player does not have time to react.
00:49So in my opinion, this is not a deliberate handball, and he's not making his body unnaturally bigger.
00:53He doesn't try to use his arm to hit the ball.
00:56He tries to use his arm to avoid being hit by the ball.
00:59I don't think this is a handball offense.
01:01So in my opinion, VR was correct here to not intervene, and a penalty should not be called here.
