00:00Good evening, I was asked to talk a little about the refereeing in relation to yesterday's game.
00:05Regarding a few things, I'd say that, firstly, I don't think Brazilian referees...
00:12They may be bad, but I think the biggest problem in Brazil is the lack of standards.
00:17We had Rafael Plaus, Milton, and Abate at the World Cup, and they had good performances.
00:25Because there the criteria are clear. As we saw, for example, a deficiency that here in Brazil
00:31Carrascal was sent off in the World Cup, he's not even missing.
00:36And that criterion is different; here in Brazil, it always has to be the same.
00:40Regarding yesterday's game, there are two things. The first is to be clear about the use of the arm.
00:49ostentatiously, even if the arm is close to the body, ostentatiously to gain an advantage.
00:56It's either a foul or it isn't a foul. And then the CBF Arbitration Committee comes along and says it isn't a foul...
01:03And it's not a foul in any state of Brazil, it's not a foul anywhere on the field.
01:08You can score goals with your arm like that, because what happened yesterday, in my opinion,
01:15And I've even asked some referee friends who are scattered around the world,
01:19That's a penalty because he's taking advantage of using his arm, even though his arm is almost invisible in short bursts.
01:25But his intention to deflect the ball and the ball's trajectory with his arm is clear.
01:31and not with another playable body part. And the arm, as far as I know, is not playable.
01:36In any case, the Arbitration Committee has to come and has to say, no,
01:41Here, the rule is this, and the rule is always this, and this helps the referee, and it helps the
01:48VAR,
01:48Because I don't blame Daron, who is even considered an excellent referee.
01:53But I don't blame them because their view wasn't clearer, but the VAR's view has to be clear.
01:59If that's the rule, then it has to be that way forever, and the CBAF has to say so.
02:03that.
02:04What cannot happen is for me to listen to the arbitration experts and for them to say,
02:09Ah, me, it doesn't matter if he scores, that's fine with me, if he doesn't score, that's fine too.
02:15That's just not possible, because then what will happen is that I won't score on the field.
02:20I won't schedule an appointment in one state, and I won't schedule an appointment in another state.
02:23And that's what creates and generates the controversies and prevents the referees from having peace of mind.
02:29enough
02:30so they can do the good job that is asked of them.
02:35Regarding automatic disqualification, I think there's a point here,
02:40I'm not an expert in arbitration, but I am an expert in technology.
02:46But there's one point that needs clarification: when is that line drawn?
02:51That line, or offside line, must be drawn at the moment the pass is made.
02:55And this is never visible in the images they sell you, because normally what we see,
03:01Both now in the World Cup and in other leagues, it's an image that shows the height from which the ball leaves the field.
03:08And then the line is drawn there, and it shows the whole field.
03:12We lined up, we were only there for the two players, Alassian's foot and the other player's foot.
03:17We're not sure, nor do we know, and I'm not suggesting it isn't true.
03:22That line was drawn at the moment the pass is made, because that's the point that counts.
03:27And that's what the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) and the Arbitration Commission also need to clarify and say.
03:32My friends, that's right, it's being plotted that way; we just need some software to show it.
03:39But that's how it's being planned.
03:40Because this avoids any controversy, and there are controversies every week.
03:46But what is needed is criteria, equal criteria, and that doesn't depend on the waters.
03:53That depends on the CBF's Arbitration Committee.
03:55Goodnight.
03:57Goodnight.
03:58Goodnight.
03:59Goodnight.
04:00Goodnight.
04:03Goodnight.
