"Beyond Penalties: Rethinking the Decision-Making in Crucial Football Matches"
Yesterday, I had the privilege of watching the clash between two giants of European football: Manchester City and Real Madrid. This match, besides being a sports spectacle fueled by many millions, was also a tactical duel between two of the best current coaches. However, despite the grandeur of this spectacle, the outcome left a bitter taste.
Manchester City's elimination in penalties conveys immense disappointment, not specifically because of the failure of one of the teams, but because of the way the winner was decided after two electrifying games. The method of penalties, akin to the antiquated coin toss, seems to me a disproportionate and frankly ridiculous solution to determine the winner after such performances.
I now address the regulators of this beautiful game: did you watch this knockout round? Were you satisfied with the arbitrary decision of penalties to decide a winner? I question whether it would not be fairer for the statistics of the two matches to determine which team was superior, instead of reducing everything to a lottery of penalties.
The athletes, who accumulate more than 50 matches for their clubs in a season, in addition to international games and exhausting travels, deserve special respect and consideration, and should not be subjected to an extension that places them, as seen, in unnecessary physical difficulties, to end with this ridiculous solution of penalties. Yet, we continue to see decisions that seem to ignore their effort and dedication, maintaining solutions that, in my view, threaten the integrity of football.
Proposing a statistics-based solution for tiebreaks would encourage coaches to prepare their teams for more offensive and spectacular football, benefiting not only the players and clubs but also the fans, who would emerge as true winners from a more vibrant and fair spectacle. Wouldn't this be the most sensible and respectful approach to the sport we love so much?
Thank you for your attention and I await a change that honors the true spirit of football.
