The rule has been changed at least twice in the last five years, and no one sees it as fully clear. Not even Aleksander Ceferin, which is why the president of UEFA formed a working group whose task will be to specify how handball in football should be characterized in the future – what is allowed and what is not.At the head of that body will be Zvonimir Boban, former Croatian ace, later director of AC Milan, followed by being Ceferin’s associate in Nyon. He will have to deal with a sensitive topic in his new job because it confuses all football fans. And Ceferin himself.##NAJAVA_MECA_7153511##”I don’t understand the handball rule. I don’t understand at all. We have to do something on that front. At the end of April, we will form a working group, which will be led by Zvonimir Boban, we want all the best coaches and former football players to be part of it in order to clarify the matter. The rule implies that playing with the hand is sanctioned if the player uses it to make the surface of the body larger (when the arm is extended away from the body), however, what should he do? How should he behave if the player falls on the grass, what happens when one jumps? All of these are natural hand positions, they cannot always be pressed against the body,” Ceferin said.The rule is, in line with the bottom of the arm pit, the shirt has nothing to do with it. The fact you think that is incredible.Top left figure, it hit CVVs arm where the handball line is. pic.twitter.com/sY1W5vjs6z— David Strange (@StrangerDavy) April 4, 2023 Lately, everyone interprets in their own way whether playing with the hand is punishable. Even VAR’s interventions did not fully help to clarify the situation. For example, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, Manchester City – Leipzig, when the Citizens were awarded a controversial penalty after the ball caught Benjamin Henricks while the German defender was in the air.
