The coaching career started as a college team coach

So was the ball offside?

Sitting in the commentary booth, Martin Taylor and Lineker looked at each other, and they both saw complex emotions in their eyes.

"Well, it seems that from the video playback, it is not clear whether this ball is offside or not. But before the specific result comes out, we can only accept the referee's decision."

Lineker sighed. After all, he is now a commentator. "Young Wolves players need to learn to face this situation. In the football field, such controversial decisions exist."

Although the spectators, players and coaches in the stadium are temporarily unable to verify the situation of the ball just now, the commentators sitting in the commentary booth, facing the broadcast of the game, and the audience in front of the TV can see it clearly.

When Coady headed the ball, De Paul ran forward from behind. The broadcaster did not stop and draw a line at this moment. It was only when Coady's head touched the ball that the director did pause the video for one or two seconds.

Of course, this can also be understood as "guilty conscience".

At this moment, DePaul's forward figure was basically parallel to the last defensive player of the opponent - it was unclear whether he was offside or not. Even if you look closely, DePaul seemed to be slightly behind the defensive player's body!

This ball might be a misjudgment!

Even if it might not be a misjudgment, it would at least be a controversial penalty!

"This is not right!" Todd's eldest son shouted, "How do I see this ball? DePaul is not offside at all!"

The youngest son did not speak, he was squinting his eyes and watching carefully.

Todd was not so "rational". He had already started to smear honey on his mouth and spit out fragrance. But after scolding a few words, he stopped. Although this situation is not common, it is not the first time it has happened.

"Are we just going to suffer in silence?" Todd could not answer the eldest son's question, he could only sigh helplessly.

Todd actually didn't even know who to scold now.

If we think about it from a conspiracy theory perspective, it is probably that the FA does not want Wolves to win the championship so early, or that the bookmakers arranged a match-fixing, but either of the above seems very outrageous.

After all, this is a game in the English Championship.

It is very likely that this was an oversight by the assistant referee. If Todd sat in the first row of seats on the field, he could see the same perspective as the assistant referee, so he also experienced the feeling of an assistant referee.

The fact is that it is too difficult. The standard football field is 65 to 75 meters wide, and the field size of Molineux Stadium is the middle value of the standard size, which is 70 meters wide.

In such a large range, when the corner kick defense is close to each other, it is really difficult for the assistant referee to see what happened at that moment.

Some people once said that referees should be more tolerant and their misjudgments should be compared to the mistakes of players on the field.

But the problem is that such mistakes often have adverse effects on both teams. But the pressure on an assistant referee is too great, and such a situation is inevitable.

Wei Le, who was standing on the sidelines, also received similar news. This was sent by the Wolves' tactical analysis team to the coaching staff on the sidelines. They believed that this ball was a misjudgment.

"Should we tell them?" asked Celars.

Wei Le thought for a moment and said, "Let the midfielder tell us. We will know about this sooner or later. It's useless for us to hide it."

In fact, Wei Le is quite open-minded. Since he came to Wolves, there have not been many particularly controversial penalties against Wolves. This is the only time that the interests of Wolves have been particularly affected.

This season, the penalties against Wolves in the Championship League are relatively friendly.

Whether it is a misjudgment or being targeted, this situation will come sooner or later. Wei Le shook his head, but there is no way to correct this situation now.

In fact, some voices have been proposed in FIFA to set up four assistant referees on both sides to reduce the probability of misjudgment, but it was not adopted due to cost issues.

For this situation, in 2017, the reality is that Wolves can only suffer in silence.

But the players on the field were not affected by this. De Paul, who was the most emotional, calmed down under the persuasion of captain Coady. He knew that it would be useless to attack the referee, so they put their energy into scoring another goal.

They were still launching an offensive. It was difficult for Blackburn to advance past the second offensive zone, and most of them were intercepted by Wolves in the midfield.

Wolves' central pressure is even more useful for this counterattack-type team. Three midfielders "stir up" inside, and four defenders intercept outside, so that no ball can get out.This encirclement.

18 minutes later, the second goal came.

"It's still a corner kick opportunity. De Paul took the corner kick on the left. He should have wanted to kick an inward-spinning ball."

De Paul's corner kick did not go into the penalty area, but flew low to the outside of the penalty area! And Rodri received the ball there!

Wei Le dared to say that Rodri definitely wanted to shoot directly, but unfortunately, the grass he was standing on might have been turned up a little during the fight, making this piece of grass particularly slippery.

Rodri slipped!

"He slipped! Although Rodri slipped, he did not forget to poke the ball to Doherty on the right. There are so many people in the penalty area now, and the crowd that had just dispersed rushed in again!"

After Doherty received the ball, he roughly observed the situation in the penalty area.

In theory, the corner kick is given outside the penalty area. Both defensive players and offensive players will retreat from the penalty area. The defensive players are to block long shots, and the offensive players are to open up space.

Now, when Doherty was holding the ball, the players on both sides found that something was wrong. The attacking player turned around and ran back to grab the ball, while the defending player was a little hesitant at this time!

Should he defend against the long shot, or defend against the player who was grabbing the ball, or come up to press Doherty?

In this moment of daze, Doherty kicked a curved ball that brushed the ground and swept towards the penalty area!

Almiron, who was close, followed up with a right-footed shot and pushed the ball into the goal!

There was nothing wrong with this ball! The ball went in! 2-0!

"Doherty chose to cross the ball, and there was... Almiron!!! Almiron pushed the ball, and the ball was scored!!! 2-0!!! In the 18th minute, Wolves now expanded their lead!"

"This ball was passed very well and played very well. The arc ball bypassed an opponent's full-back, and Almiron ran to the outside, just making the opponent's defender lose track!"

"David Raya was really powerless in the face of such a close-range push. He had no reaction at all and just stood there watching the ball fly into the bottom corner of the goal."

The assistant referee did not raise the flag again this time. There was really no problem with this ball. There was no doubt that-

The goal was valid!
