As a result of the actions of Emiliano Martinez during the penalty shootout against the Blues, the governing bodies decided to act.
Kylian Mbappé was not the only tricolor victim of the provocations of Emiliano Martinez. During the penalty shootout that was going to allow Argentina to win its third star, Aurélien Tchouameni also had to deal with the Simagrées of the Albiceleste porter.
The latter explained it on his return to Argentina. “” I knew the boy was going to be nervous. I tried to play it mentally by throwing the ball, talking to it and he shot next. He was chewed on it ”, he said.
Like Kingsley Coman, whose shot had been arrested by Emiliano Martinez a few seconds earlier, the tricolor environment had indeed missed his attempt during the penalty shootout against Argentina, his shot, too crossed, missing the frame.
Actuated law 14
The provocations of Emiliano Martinez will not remain without follow -up. Three months after the argentinian jokes, already seen in front of the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, IFAB has indeed revised its rule on the behavior of the guards in the face of opposing penalties. The body governed the rules of football announced that from July 1 its law 14 would stipulate that “The goalkeeper cannot act in such a way as to abusively distract the shooter, for example by delaying the execution of the penalty or by touching the posts, the crossbar or the nets”.
So far the rule says that
“The goalkeeper must stay on his goal line, facing the shooter, and between the posts and touch the posts or the crossbar or the goal nets before the shot is made”. The notions of abuse and time saving have therefore been added without the IFAB specifying which sanction the offender is exposed. “” Clarification that the goalkeeper must take care to respect the game and the opponent by avoiding abusively distract the shooter ”, added the instance.
