ReplyDelete02:14:20 interesting to see Marchetti use Serie A kit not FIFA kit, unfortunately I couldn't watch the game so can't report his performance.
Is it common when they use their own league kit and not the league that invite them or fifa kit?
DeleteIt is strange indeed. Referee should wear the same kit of the league he is about to officiate or alternatively the UEFA / FIFA.
DeleteI think in this specific case, it can be something related to kit supplier, GIVOVA for Italian referee, maybe they can't appear with a different sponsor? And if I'm not wrong, it's Macron for Kazakhstan league at moment?
BW would be nice to know about the performance, maybe after many poor outings in serie A, finally a good one in KAZ today for him?
before the match, local media raise concern about "neutrality" because Marchetti officiated Kairat in UCL R1 this season but I think it's just nonsense and yeah no issues so far after the match, if I'm not missed something.
DeleteGood performance by Marchetti, he handled the game well.
DeleteSoto Grado called penalty, Var call him and penalty has been revoked. Live, i dont see a referee who would not call it live, but after replay obviously it was contact from Real Player. Very good teamwork. Then, Var called offside that was very tight to see, and goal have been deleted. Again, excellent teamwork.
ReplyDeleteNah, the penalty was correct. It's clear tripping that prevents the attacker from taking a shot he had already started to perform. I would call it lack of understanding rather than good teamwork.
DeleteFor the offside are we sure that it's not coming from a barcelona player ?
DeleteI also thought the offside might have come from barca player
DeleteDefinitely not tripping. Seen these situations several times. Kicked his foot instead of the ball. Free kick.
DeleteIn my opinion, it is a clear penalty. The attacker has complete control of the ball, he tried to shoot, the defender puts his leg in the same place without playing the ball. Clear penalty for me.
DeleteNo, correct penalty for me. REA player is the ball carrier. BAR player puts his foot infront of him when he is about the shoot and doesn't get the ball.
DeleteFor me inam fine with revoking the prnalty
DeleteVAR shouldn't get involved in my opinion, one of those which causes debate so VAR should stay with on field decision
DeleteVery good work by Var. Penalty after Ofr, hard to spot live.
ReplyDeleteI will go with my observation of the Soto Grado Performance:
ReplyDelete1. In the last decade,maybe more, the most challenging El Classico in way of the officiating situations.
2. It is showed that CTA decision to appoint Soto Grado was extremely clever
3. I watch Primera officiating a lot of time and this is the first time that I enjoyed in El Classico officiating.
4. Fabulous officiating by officiating team led by Cesar Soto Grado, especially him.Hugh authority,accepted by all parts involved in, with high dose of self-confidence, excellent disciplinary control and technical aspect, also communication on high level. Two OFR, but nobody should have problem with it,becouse these situations was very tough for on field solving. At the end, chapeau for Soto Grado,he showed why he is at least for me No 1 Spanih referee at moment.
I also liked his performance in the big picture. Good control, mainly by radiating calmness, and a lenient line, while punishing the clear fouls and giving the clear cards.
DeleteNot giving the 2CT to Pedro a minute earlier probably was wrong though and the two VAR interventions can't be ignored (debatable, whether he made any mistake in the first situation).
