PGMOL opens Sanchez s red card recording, Weber says his attack is completely different from Pope

Hupu October 1st News PGMOL Chief Referee Howard Webber recorded the latest episode of Mic 'dUp program, updating the content of multiple controversial penalty.

[Must Board] PGMOL opens the recording of the penalty kick of Zhekelais, and VAR review confirmed that Pope encountered the red card incident of Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez. Weber's conclusion is:

"I know people will compare these two situations. I think they are really different, and we will discuss the reasons later.

I think the only similarity is that the goalkeeper will touch the ball in both cases, but the way the ball is touched is completely different. Now, in this case, Sanchez was sent off for destroying Mbemo's obvious goal opportunity. He fouled, preventing Mbemo from continuing to break through and scoring.

You can see the way Sanchez tried to touch the ball, and what we saw was Pope's ground, his feet landed directly, and the ball naturally fitted together. In this case of Sanchez, he raised his legs, exposed his studs, and kicked Mbemo's leg. It was at least a reckless act. Some people even discussed it, and it was even more It could be a more serious foul that endangers the safety of the opponent.

I think at least it is reckless. This must be a penalty. Although it is only a slight touch, it does not prevent you from judging this behavior.

By the way, that touch is completely different from Pope's touch because the ball did not deviate from the direction, just keep moving forward. The ball hit Sanchez's instep and continued along the way, Mbemo was about to rush forward. In Pope's case, we saw the direction of the ball appear

So, for all these reasons, this is definitely something we have to call, mainly because of the way Sanchez dribbled the ball, he was completely exposed to Mbemo's legs.

This is definitely a foul. Of course, we know that the conditions at the time were very suitable for creating a clear goal opportunity.

Mbemo dribbled the ball towards that ball, and the defender was not defending there. It was obviously a goal opportunity. So the red card was shown. "
