尼祖迪莊的自然反應


2010年世界盃決賽,荷蘭對西班牙,洛賓兩次單刀失機、恩尼斯達一劍封喉的畫面歷歷在目。除此之外,還有尼祖迪莊對沙比阿朗素施以的穿心腿,當時球證韋比只出示黃牌,而沒有直接給紅牌逐尼祖迪莊離場。

事隔九年,我們可以相信當時尼祖迪莊只是「自然反應」,尼祖迪莊正伸腳想控定皮球,沙比阿朗素突然出現在腳的火線中,在危急的情況下視之為威脅點,所以他選擇以腳「推」向沙比阿朗素,移除威脅。由於沙比阿朗素突然出現前面,尼祖迪莊不會清楚其目的。沙比阿朗素被「推」開後,尼祖迪莊無對他使用武力。球證韋比當時也許相信尼祖迪莊沒有惡意,飽受壓力下情緒亦無失控,只是在極為罕見、非常危急的情況下作出決定,當刻使用的方法,是有需要亦非常合理。


韋比其後在訪問指出,雖然賽事火藥味甚濃,首20分鐘已出示了4張黃牌,而他多次與球員展開「真誠對話」都無效。
(I started off with two solid cautions, just over 20 minutes in I'd shown four yellow cards, and it didn't seem to be having any effect in calming the game down. I tried talking to the players but I only got a sort of preoccupied response.)

不過,他表示假如當時看得清楚尼祖迪莊腳踢沙比阿朗素的行為,他會以紅牌直接逐後者離場。

(He admits for the first time that had he had a better view of the incident where the Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong kicked Spain's Xabi Alonso in the chest he would have reached for a red card rather than yellow. "Having seen it again from my armchair, I would red-card him," the 39-year-old Yorkshire official said.)

所以,只要球證回看多角度的真實片段,球證必定會給予歷史一個正面回應。請不要灰心,當時勝出的,始終是西班牙,還要戰至加時階段才奠定勝局;尼祖迪莊亦自此被封為「茅柴」。
