Controversial handball ...


[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] On the Odoi handball scene, the coaches of both teams had a battle.

Manchester United drew 0-0 without goals in the 2020/21 season away game against Chelsea in the 26th round of the Premier League on matchday one (Korean time).

The biggest problem in today’s game was if Callum Hudson Odoy committed a handball foul. In the 13th minute, Scott McTomini was fouled outside the box and received a free kick, which was launched by Rashford.

Rashford’s powerful shot went straight to goalkeeper Edouard Mendi, and Mason Greenwood and Odoi competed for a second ball that went flowing.

In the process, both players were suspected of handball. Referee Stuart Atwell played the game first, followed by Hakim Ziech’s shot.

After that, referee Atwell contacted the VAR room and conducted a review on the field, and as a result of the verification, the final decision was not a handball foul.

United’s Harry Maguire protested to the referee over the decision, and both teams’ coaches had a nervous battle on the bench over the decision.

Coach Ole Gunnar Solshar, who was interviewed with Sky Sports after the match, also responded to this decision saying: ‘This is a 100% penalty. I am 100% sure. He also said, “If the hand position was the normal hand position when the ball came, I am blind.”

On the other hand, Tuhel said: ‘Why would the referee read the VAR? It is impossible for Solshar to determine the situation simply by looking at the streaming screen on the iPad. The referee continued to control both on the field and on the monitor. He also criticized Solshar, saying, “I don’t understand why Solshar keeps checking the scene.”

Luke Shaw also expressed dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision. He said: ‘At that time, I watched handball. It wasn’t clear if it was Greenwood or Odo, but there was a scene that fit the hand. I also doubt that the referees control the penalty. I don’t know why the game was stopped if I don’t give a penalty.

He said: “ Referee Atwell told Harry Maguire, ‘If I declare it’s a penalty, I think there will be a lot of words in the future.’
