The details of the new rule
Rule 14, which refers to criminal procedure, underwent a significant variant in its text. “The goalkeeper must remain on his own goal line, between the two goal posts and in front of the kicker until the ball is hit. The goalkeeper must not behave in such a way as to unlawfully distract the kicker, e.g. e.g. will not delay the execution of the penalty or touch the posts, the crossbar or the net of the goal”now upholds the regulations.
“It is clarified that, with his conduct, the goalkeeper will not disrespect football or the opponent, for example, distracting the kicker in an illegal manner”they explained from the IFAB when seeking to clarify the new situation.
In this way, now a goalkeeper will not be able to throw the ball away from the kicker before taking charge of the maximum penalty, approaching to speak or delaying the execution when talking with the main referee or the rival. Neither will they be able to touch the posts, the crossbar or the goal net.
“Draw” Martinez had to speak in the America’s Cup 2021where the Argentine goalkeeper was key in a penalty shootout against Colombiahis phrase went viral “Look how I eat you, brother” before the Colombian footballer Yerry Mina. Later, he did his thing in the world Cup which was finally awarded Argentina with the man from Mar del Plata as a figure.
Last month, after the impending rule change came to light, Martinez stated: “I always said that after the Copa América, I don’t know if I would do it again. I already saved the penalties that I had to save. And now the same thing happened to me, I don’t know if I’ll save a penalty in 20 years Maybe not, but the ones I had to save in the Copa América and in the World Cup I could save and help the team win, that’s enough for me”.
