Red for me. No attempt to play the ball, ridiculously knee high so attempt to injure.
In a normal league? Red.
Studs up, stretched leg lunge at knee height? These are almost always reds, no?
I would say so to ensure these kinds of tackles are prevented in the future. this one looked as in control as one can be, tried tripping him higher up to ensure he catches him but could also go very very wrong at that speed and force.
Also since most people here love the PL, Allan did a similar tackle to Saint-Maximan 2-3 years ago, the latter sprinting and trying to jump over the challenge and Allan tripped him high up with his legs extended and got a red.
at real time, look violent and for sure a red
on slow motion it looks like Vini knows the hit is coming and plays it up in pained expression. yellow with a strong warning
but if it’s a red in the end that’s kinda understandable because he’s not playing the ball
Did he live?
Yellow, I’d say. Not violent or dangerous enough for red, and not a goal scoring opportunity, obviously.
I’m far from a fan Vinícius and Real Madrid, but really? He almost takes out his knee with studs first, and he is so off target that I can’t see any argument that he is going after ball. I’d be furious if a player did this to my team.
His studs are nowhere near Vini’s knee at any point that I can see. They’re facing downward most of the time and only really rise up after his foot is past the left leg.
Agree that it’s 100% an intentional foul, and no attempt at the ball, but that’s not enough for a red card.
At the speed of the tackle, it’s fine margins that saved his knee.
Think we’ll have to agree to disagree - for me he swings his foot across in front of Vini, but never actually at him.
There is more to violence than just studs. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a professional athlete who relies on things like ACLs and MCLs to, you know, not be torn.
I only mentioned studs because the comment I replied to did.
