The big bogeyman who had decided twice wrong, nor good and right had succeeded in the end. Referee Manuel Grafe has dared the bull by the horns. He turned immediately to critical questions a curious Bundesliga match on the outcome of at least one error he had much co-decided.
And he immediately apologized for it. “I have made a mistake. I’ll take my fault. It was a perception error” Grafe said. His gaffes, not the only elementary of 42-year-olds in this game had the VfL Wolfsburg the way to an important 2: paved -Heimsieg against Bayer Leverkusen: 1 (1: 1).
The decisive moment occurred in the 34th minute. Before Wolfsburg ahead by Nicklas Bendtner Grafe should have recognized a clear offside position the template generator Vieirinha. But the referee mistakenly think that Leverkusen’s Kevin Kampl had played a back pass -. And overlooked the fact that the Wolfsburg André Schürrle was last on the ball
Wolfsburg led, had a goal by Javier Hernandez (40. ) quickly accept the compensation and could finally cheer thanks Draxler yet. But the leap of VfL on Table No. 3 was given the Referee Posse only a side issue. Grafe overlooked in the second half, also a clear penalty when Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno opponent Daniel Caligiuri brought down.
This controversial scene was afterwards designed the Berlin to make matters worse, as the licensing decision. “Since he has instinct proved,” Leno said – and admitted that the referee had made a wrong decision in this scene. However, this time in favor of Leverkusen
Same Old Story -. New debate
Thanks Gräfe’s work has managed to fuel important debates new a rather average game. Be retained in addition to the goal-line technology with other technical means of making mistakes and Häme Shall referee? So you simply whistle better. Grafe has at 11. Gameday overlooked something that a quick look at television images could easily explain. His assistant on the outside line, which had raised the flag, signaling offside, he was eager to overrule.
demands at the participating players Schürrle and Kampl were following the situation not clear and could not slow down the anger. The many critical tones, anschlugen the players, spectators and officials from Leverkusen were already heard during the game. They should not have been a better contribution to the referee’s decisions.
Even during the halftime break Grafe had to engage in discussions with Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller, Bayer coach Roger Schmidt and Wolfsburg manager Klaus Allofs. What looked like a reprimand, to have been substantive debates. The referee looked at that moment not on a dock. He wore by his own admission arrange for enlightenment. “If you make a mistake, one may express the well,” Grafe said of his justifications before the restart.
Völler outburst vs. Heckings understanding
Crisis Management still, Atonement during the game long before the final whistle: sit up and take in the gangway Gräfe experiences. Functionary Völler, the games of Bayern Leverkusen look at not more of the outline, but always from the VIP tribune, had immediately after the disputed 1: 0 made their way into the interior of the stadium.
His Wutausbrauch in grass nearby was exacerbated because Völler in the stands could already see on a TV set that an irregular gate had fallen with an offside position over several meters. “That was a huge injustice,” complained the former national player of proven mania.
Something went fine the coach with Gräfe into judgment. “His mistake is human. The referee had an assessment needed from outside,” said Leverkusen’s head coach Schmidt. His colleague Dieter Hecking believes even that Grafe and his colleagues need more protection. “The enormous pressure on the referees is crucial. You do inevitably more errors,” said VfL coach.
More outside help so for the officials? More indulgence, if they make a wrong decision and the pressure can not withstand? Graefe denied both issues and hopes that he has no fear of consequences. “The pressure is always great,” said the confident referee. “You have to live, if you’re in the Bundesliga.”
