football as you know we have special special needs and therefore of course we had to test all the different elements one element was of course feeds that defeats arrive especially here for the world cup we have a centralised we are that means that we we have to test still more we arrived there but also what we already tested in i would argue the club world cup a centralised we are that means that one place where all the feeds coming in so there was tested at the club world cup the next big step for us and where we also have seen many problems was already communication between the v.a.r. sitting in a room somewhere and the referee on the pitch or so here we did many trolls we did many experiments with different companies checking everything and we are feeling quite comfortable that it will work at the world cup and the next element was also you mentioned there was this situation and you can imagine how many made the real arrived on that day because everyone was very similar things that the work up and.

but also here we tested different providers for technology and for technology there are two important things that you have to consider one is of course the lion how accurate is the line and. i can just repeat myself again and again that every line that you see from a normal product it's nice but this is not one hundred percent accurate because it's not validated by and scientific testing institute that's exactly what we did now we tested all the different providers of the line and the second element you should never forget is the person is still a person involved it's not an automated technology system but it's someone who has to put the line somewhere and that's still the. so these two things have to be taken into consideration so we will have very accurate line but at the end it's still when is the moment the ball was played and also where the v.a. system placing the line so the. the third element and the last one is then the on

field money tours also here we tested where do we place to monitor where can we save time and what's the best location and we did try ours when we started two thousand and six in japan we did trials in south korea last year and then russia and abu dhabi i think we now have found the best. solution for the world cup. how we do it there it's a special outdoor monitor that sun rain all the sense to be considered of course and at the end also when the referee arrives that he can see immediately immediately the right thing because when we started we gave the referee on the pitch different angles and look at this and this and this and he said look i don't have the time so give me just the one where you are convinced that there was a clear so all these things we went through a thousand times just to really provide the best camera angle in the fastest possible time and what is also very important different to all the leaks is we will

have an own offside station working station with in the year our set up and i tell you why because we also learned to have seen over the time that when a goal is scored the players are celebrating and suddenly after a minute or something you have he said no no go sorry. it was offside so we said ok we want to be sure that this time is very very short we go to him to the maximum so we said everything that we can every where we can help the referee to make a very fast decision here would support for quality and so we have there one is one of them will be always one of the top additional. referees linesman who will sit there together with an owner operator just for decision that we can be very very quick and that we can save time to get through this the vasant i mean work. though. begin very young set of your will in the we will have

four systems there because we were always want to have one backup system for the last day of the group stage we have. two measures at the same time so we will have a set of four or so one main three eighty years so they're helping each other as i said one is only for the off side situations another want to steer in case. the part of the fall is about the next war this is one of the cycle so we have here we are is working very closely with an operator together so there are also training together they're working to together since now many many weeks a month so they know each other very well they speaking the same language they know each other they know exactly when they are saying something that the operator is immediately known ok he knows this and that we have the eight years of what is the a.t.o. this system we are doing he is following live in the moment when the checking

incident because as you know football is so flowing again that means it could be that the ball is not out of play and he's checking something and someone else has to follow the live match so the a.b.r. is chip is following a life imagine in case something occurs there another incident then he can take the moment and then. exactly then we have the third one as asserted the offside one and the fourth one who tries to provide the best communication between all the different the. we in this in the center so it's. not a complex but it's really i would say set up that for all the different scenarios that can happen provides the best possible information in the shortest possible time what measures are you or what ideas are you bringing into that commit first of all minimize it but also keep us. viewers the fans and detain and for the moment he

goes to an official review there will be a screen in the stadium showing ok this is the view there will be also the information about the final decision and the reason for it so a no go offside for example and in addition after the decision is made there will be also decisive angle shown in the stadium so that means we really hope with this process we really cover everything or we could be as much as transparent as possible. for. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. for the current president giani in france ina was not personally involved in the decision to award the world cups to either russia who will host in twenty twenty two so my suspicion was that i have. to put his own touch of this tournament

he has made his very own pet project i want to feel for headquarters in syria to ask him whether that was the case. the president the fever introducing him to the world cup can you guarantee that it's going to be a success it will be a success definitely it will be a success because there will never be a correct decision which will be changed into a wrong decision but there will be wrong decisions which will be corrected into a right decision so there are only upsides there are no downsides i don't understand why you have to be so perfect in the game do we really want that well we want to be as fair as possible in the game and that's why i always would need referees. referees there to take a decision hopefully the right decision when. one when one something is committed which is not in accordance with the laws of the game so. if

a gay. game in the world cup an important game but any game. is decided because of a mistake or for every good place. and happen. it's not right if we can correct it we felt that this has a detrimental impact on the game if you decide a world cup on the. offside goal on that one on the hands goal. it doesn't feel. right because maybe twenty thirty years ago you wouldn't have the chance to be sure about it today you can and what you're not sure because sometimes even the video images there of you on the present security and it's always the referee obviously who decides based on his own interpretation so we

just help the referee would give him a tool. to be able to correct a potential big stand they are is one minute per game. and they decide the gate so we can lose one minute per game if this has an impact on the result does not make an impression on you that fans are very confused and people who are actually active inside football have really nothing good to say about it which is your losses i was very positive when we got to december. i couldn't see anything good and i can't see anything good coming out of it. at all this is a guy who's played the game and obviously director of football and to function. it's going to ruin the game for the house at the same thing these are people big big experienced people this is this is this is not right all the system is is designed is not right this is not make like an impression you might think my

jumping the gun here should we just give it a little bit more time and not implemented in or do you say such a big tournament as well i think in a big tournament like the world cup we have to implement the best tools that we have to. dispose of for for the referees to take the right the correct decisions. in the games. there are many. football players and coaches have expressed also very positive. opinions about this is mainly linked to the experience of course that is made obviously when you lose one match because of v.a.r. it's before it was maybe the fall of the referee now it would be for the. when you take the examples and i think up in. in england where this was tested. these were the first games and the first games in italy for example the

season where all the games have been played or in portugal the first match days in germany as well there were heavy heavy criticisms then their phrase get used the players get used to coaches get used the public. gets used and the whole perception is changing as well when it comes to the world cup referees they are now capable of taking a decision in twenty seconds whereas one year ago it took them one minute but it's only for four of the world cup references that will work with and the pros was there on who they were not as close to the world cup so their experience going in to the world cup would be very much like you say that in the beginning it's a league germany where the you know everyone was confused and when to use or not to so you my dress carrying the same kind of problems that i was and the early part of the trial. while i don't think so we don't think so because. the

referees who are going to the world cup they are preparing the use of the for for two years. since two years we have started training them the team on the pier luigi collina is in charge of doing that and they are ensuring that all the reference will be at the level that they are for tested it that they are all capable of using the best possible care and you're not afraid at all that you just giving the referees an excuse not to make a decision. oh i'm not doing that let me just go and see because that can happen well you know many many things going to happen but i think that the referees will go to the work of they have enough personality to take the things that they have to take and to consult an additional tool that they have of their disposal if they feel that they have to go that. there is no doubt that vast impact has been felt in

the first week of the tournament it wasn't used at all in the opening few days but made its debut two in the first game of day three and making headlines in the process france and so on gray's man was the one spend if it he was awarded a penalty against australia after a penalty claim was taken two. after looking at the footage of the referee decided that france did deserve the spot kick and after all that chris meant himself converted it to one of those schools and it's fair to say that australia's manager good friend mavic didn't agree with that decision and he was that left fuming saying i hope that maybe one time there will be a referee who is very honest when you're in that moment on your own you have to go to that video screen i saw him standing there the body language wasn't he didn't know from my position and then you have to take a decision france australia it's very difficult but when it's also difficult to

decide when a referee for fifty thousand people on his back must decide when it's doubting. i have to say i'm with the australia boss and the evidence i don't think was conclusive and having seen it at least fifteen times over i'm still not convinced and i have a little bit of sympathy with phenolics frustration the aim of this technology is to eradicate referee mistakes from the game and i'm not sure that that was what happened in that situation later that day who was awarded the penalty by god decision. and again there was real doubt many juge of the poor video footage available in the end the penalty was kicked over the boss so there's no need to make a song and dance out of that situation sweden where next up to enjoy a bit of fortune cut a sea of the referee from salvador didn't see much wrong when south korea's a young you only put a tackle in and vic's

a clayson inside the pendency box but the valar assistant did and after watching it on his pitch side muncher referee joel correctly awarded sweden a penalty which was put in the back of the net by skipper and di as conquest the only goal in that match and it's safe to say that that was a game changing intervention so violence been far from convincing up till now many of service mean prudent thing that diego costa's first goal for spain against portugal should have been taken to a clearly hit the portuguese defend the paper in the nick in the run up to the goal but neither the referee or the vos ist and reacted and the goal stood the contrivance he continued on the evening of day five when tunisia was awarded a penalty by the referee against england in volgograd that decision was one hundred percent correct but there were at least two incidents late in the game that should have been looked at a vince dangerman hurricane was clearly held down and gravel to the flow twice and

should have been awarded penalties in my opinion in both situations the issue for me is that both incidents appear to be worse than the penalty that was actually awarded and after the game feat admitted it would have to take at howard look at why there was no reaction from either the match referee all divide team back in moscow staring at the footage so the question is this voc working but it needs a multimeter developed before being introduced into a championship of the magnitude of a. well come before the tournament kicked off i was a doubter i didn't think it was ready and i thought it couldn't work in football in two thousand and eighteen but you know what i'm actually pleasantly surprised don't don't get me wrong a lot is not one hundred percent. but at its current state of development it's good enough to be useful by having it here at this world cup the experience will ensure

that important lessons on the and understanding will improve and it could make the game fairer after all so this is my position now and by two months ago i was directly opposed to it but knowing that it was inevitable to be introduced into the game and having seen it work in the first round of the world cup i now think it's pretty cool and i also think that the referees and devide assistants they've done a pretty good job overall. so much so good to see you next time on the peter schmeichel show. up late for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each other kill the narrowness and spend the trip to twenty million one playa. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy migrates of what will transpire. and thinks he's going to. win gold. make us manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the room in clusters project themselves. in the final merry go round there's only one person. to ignore middle of the room signal is. the room the real news is

the world. this day seven of the world cup in russia the final game of the day pitting favorite spain against unbeaten iran is just under way. also on. saudi arabia and morocco are the first teams to be eliminated from the tournament after going down year of wine and portugal respectively. we're told through the form of fee for president sepp blatter who announced russia as the host nation back in two thousand and ten about his impressions of the current tournament. this was the bits to go because it's my eleventh's world cup and when they arrived yesterday i saw it a little bit is my abode. in other news states are condemning the u.s.

decision to withdraw from the un human rights council saying the move may undermine washington's role as a champion of democracy. is nine pm and you're watching r.t. international live from our moscow studio with me welcome to the program the whole week has now passed since the biggest party on the planet kicked off in russia but finally there is still another three weeks of the world cup to go for all the details as well as the latest updates last cross live now to our special studio in the very center of moscow.

very good evening to you and it's another beautiful evening here in central moscow nine ten just take by which means that the pubs are filling up behind as everyone sat down to watch spain against the round which is a very important game taking place just a few minutes and the action in cars on alongside me as i hope will be regular fixture pits michael the to view as will actually be here and yes it is you know we got a lot to talk about we have two games already gone i just want to know first what your thoughts on. spain the run is this going to be a siege from for ninety minutes. ok let's just kicked off this minutes and thirty seconds on the clock and so fast plane has had very little of the ball which is surprising they've been attacking but it's iran. at the moment it is but it's been the run keeping the ball but the runs changed

a lot for the first game against morocco. and his team playing three five and three in that system and today he's playing for the back and with the tube and setting right in front of him off the fall and then three in front of them and then one so strike on sunday i was wrong who actually plays on home turf today because on strike on a much anticipated performance by the local people link is on and at least that's what i sort of the test i got it when i was a good sign and did my bit for the pitch michel but. i expect spain to be done. that's good she lines up lineups that i started to sign for that spain. they've made two changes vasquez and cobb kind of a couple of kajal his name is are in instead of national school it's a good goal as well you would only think he scored a goal you're safe for the next game with you but not in the spanish team is not in

the spanish team not with the play with some of the best players in the world and it was a fantastic strike as i was in just the tap and it was a great goal and it's one of those goals that might end up in in a list of top five goals at some at some point but but he's not playing today pocket as well which for me is a little bit of a surprise has been left in the pains and instead says it masks and kajal. and i think he's playing with that ticky tack football around to effectively except the stall at forty friend just team it feels to protect them so spain might struggle to play through that can they go why do they have that ability but spain they're up against that kind of system every time they play in and yet they still manage to get results so you'd say they used to it it all depends on the pedigree off of the players from iran they run it they're actually having a nice counter-attack now. can they withstand the pressure can they keep their

concentration and can they do what they did every landscape he had very clever coach college kids have told them to do over the last sort of. quite a period is it two years now and he's been very meticulous in the way that he's been trying to build this team up and of course he he he won his first game here in russia against morocco it was i have to say an old goal unknown goal by i c's poor dues who didn't play today against portugal had to be said and he scored in the fifth added on minute of exit time in. second time so it was a little bit lucky but it's still a win and then there are of course trying to build on that today so there are teams that is used to absorbing large amounts of pressure looking for their opportunity i'm just interested apparently it's two thirds of the support is for it round how

much of a difference does it make if you've got like a noticeable majority of the sport for you psychologically this just is one of the games because there is a very very large muslim population that gets them so this is one of the games that you know of course when iran was strong here that had an immediate attention sense of can take it so i'm not surprised that iran having the most supporters here again it would be for spain like playing away from home this is something they've they've they've done before and got great results out of of course. spain world champions and in two thousand and ten european chance to stuff made. a player who's just won the champions league and some of them for the third consecutive time so these guys are very good and very used to being. being met with a block and i can tell you when i'm looking at it's a great picture now it's actually it looks more like five at the back and then four right in front of them so they are setting out to be defensive but when we talk

about iran is used to this kind of play that i would sort of a check to that because normally they don't get up against that kind of quality in their opposition spain i said this in the in previous hour actually set this. afternoon portugal in portugal game spain for me have man for man the best squad in the world cup so this is this is as good as it gets and the test for for iran today is can we deal with it and it's a good test for them this is why this is what the world cup so fascinating because it is really kind of a david goliath in terms of the look on paper the quality we get the surprise it does happen not very. often said on occasion so used to say and the thing is the big difference between playing for instance the european championship which i may be wasting is a little bit different more difficult how to because it's so difficult to qualify but it's one of the you know you have the best teams in europe playing in that to

the big differences are you playing teams if you're spain for instance today you're playing teams like iran portugal portugal played in the rock you play poland played japan you know you play teams that you very rarely play against and from different continents with different mentality with different support which we have been fortunate keen to offer to experience here every night behind us every day in the squares and streets around so this is the challenge of the world cup the deal with all this difference. of the players you play against that this playing style as well and that goes for of course for iran as well today yet with we've had so many kind of games going against the expectations i'm ruling nothing out in this match you go watch it for us and i'm fascinated see how this pans out and the your analysis of that the tactics involved because like you said it's a surprise game. for both teams in some way they were going to many times over the as i'm sure so i'll see if you have time just before i go. i just want to remind

everyone that neal has actually tempt us russia to play iran in the next game day so that means that you run either in this game or against bullshit. when dreamer is the world cup and i believe that fairy tales can control it can happen to gig i will keep a close eye a close eye on this game and tell you what happens yeah all right i'm looking forward to this obviously put all my eggs in one basket now and i'll be pushing very keenly on the shade ok alexia she is in case and he has observed just how much rain in support there is for base much actually at the stadium watching it for. which one is a little lighter but he did speak to me to myself ahead of the time. i would say iranian fans are outnumbering the spanish fans maybe four to one the plane i took from st petersburg last night i had to travel from moscow was full of iranian fans my hotel is full of iranian fans the whole city is full of iranian fans they're

walking around blowing their iranian horns chanting about iran i literally just a few minutes ago a huge crowd of iranian fans passed me on the way here and you know what i have to say they're feeling very confident there is a very strong degree of confidence among the fans and i actually managed to speak to a couple of them a short while ago and just listen to what they had to say about this game you know i don't know if that's my show out because i cannae i i'm here because i want to support my team you have a chance to win the game because it's been a crazy world cup so far who the think of messi missing a penalty against iceland it just happened who the thing jammin was in the game to make it happen so he might have another own goal here from second almost back of their own minutes and win the game one nil let me qualify already by the way that lady in that in that sound bite there will actually turn out to be iranian celebrity with one point six million followers on instagram that's five hundred thousand short than the biggest of the rain in football side of that as moon all.
