After a new “comeback”… Union Berlin coach complains about the referee

Cologne’s first goal led to controversy after Saeed Al-Mulla tried to hit the ball offside before he stopped running, prompting assistant referee Stefan Loeb to raise his flag, but referee David Schlager allowed Jacob Kaminski to continue playing, and the attack ended with a goal scored by the player. Agreement Formerly Marius Boulter.

Etta commented on the incident, saying, “The referee raises his flag and the players naturally react.”

Although he admitted that his team’s defense was affected by Al-Mulla’s movement and the referee’s flag, he admitted that his team made a big football mistake saying, “Of course, you still have to keep playing if the referee’s whistle doesn’t come.”

For his part, referee Schlager explained his opinion to the Sky TV network, explaining that the methods for counting offsides were not complete. He said, “In order for there to be an offside that requires a penalty, one of these three things must be followed: first, he touched the ball, which he did not do, or competed with the opponent for the ball, which did not happen, or he encouraged the opponent to compete with him, which does not apply here.”

Schlager admitted that it was a mistake to cooperate with his assistant, who decided to raise the flag too hastily, stressing: “This is a problem that we will try to solve, since the flag was raised a little early.”
