The World Cup has now entered its final phase, the quarter-finals will begin from today: there is less and less left before knowing that he will raise the world Cup.
In less than a month we will take the field in Serie A and keep an eye out for the news that the World Cup itself is “dragged” from Qatar, with some referee decisions that will change due to the news VAR. Among these, that of offside.
Semi-automatic offside, the President of the League speaks
One of the novelties of this edition in Qatar, in addition to the maxi-recovery, is undoubtedly the use of semi-automatic offside: the purpose of this novelty is to reduce the waiting time so as to speed up the resumption of the game.
There has been a lot of talk about the introduction of this new technology in Serie A too: all doubts were swept away following the words of the President of the Serie A League Lorenzo Casinito the microphones of Rai Italia.
These are his words:
“We are ready to apply, also in Italy as at the World Cup, the semi-automatic offside already from the resumption of the championship on January 4th”.
A complex technology which, however, could help the referees and reduce the waiting time which, in recent times, in the event of an offside situation had become very long.
How should semi-automatic offside work?
The semi-automatic offside system will not predict a chip in the ballbut will determine the “offside” position thanks to 10-12 cameras placed inside the plants who will track every inch of the field and send images to 50 frames per second.
An artificial intelligence system will be able to track the so-called “skeleton” of the player in practically real time 29 different stitches giving movement and position of the player himself on the pitch as well as the area from which the ball originated. Everything will be established in a few seconds.
