Everyone talked about Juventus being awarded a penalty: Based on several factors, this is not a penalty, VAR should not have intervened at that time

September 22 The Turin Sports Daily believes that in this round of Verona's 1-1 Juventus' Serie A, VAR should not intervene and ask the referee to call a penalty kick.

In the 43rd minute of this game, Juventus player Joao Mario handball in the penalty area. The referee Lapuano did not call the penalty at the first time, but VAR immediately intervened. The referee Lapuano went to the sidelines to watch the video replay and changed the penalty. Verona relied on this penalty to tie the score.

"Turin Sports" believes that at that time Verona passed the ball into the penalty area, and Joao Mario tried to head the ball, but Verona defender Nelson jumped up and fought for the top and did not touch the ball, which was obviously beyond Joao Mario's surprise. The football then flew over and hit Joao Mario's arm, but Joao Mario's arm was recycling towards his body, so it could not be regarded as an unnatural posture to increase the defense area. Additionally, Joao Mario closed his eyes when heading, so he couldn't know exactly where the ball would fall.

These factors should be evaluated by VAR, and The Turin Sports believes that considering these factors, VAR should not have intervened at the time! But the VAR referee did not pay attention to these details, but asked the referee Lapuano to go to the sidelines to watch the video replay and asked him to give a penalty that was completely inconsistent with the rules. There was another serious penalty error after

, which was that Orban elbowed Gati, and the referee only showed a yellow card. But at this time, the VAR referee remained silent when it was supposed to intervene.
