[新聞] Webb: I should have sent off De Jong
Englishman Webb produced 14 yellow cards, including two for Dutchman
Johnny Heitinga, as Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time in
a bad-tempered contest.
Webb and his English assistants, Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey, were
criticised for their handling of the Johannesburg game, but Webb said
he looked back on his performance with pride.
Asked about De Jong's karate-style kick on Xabi Alonso after 25 minutes,
Webb admitted he made a mistake in only booking the Manchester City player.
"We wanted to be a steady hand but equally we wanted to do our job properly,
and if there was a clear red card we would do it," Webb told Reuters
after a less arduous spot of officiating for local boys' teams at
Manchester City's stadium on Wednesday.
"When I look back on the full two hours of that game, which of course
I have, there is not much I would change.
"One of the things I would change is the colour of the card for
De Jong's tackle.
"Having seen it again from my armchair several times in slow motion
and from different angles, I can see that it was a red-card offence.
But at the time the decision not to red-card him was not based on
me not wanting to send someone off in the World Cup final, it was
based on the viewing angle I had.
"What I couldn't see was the actual contact on Alonso through the
back of Alonso with (Mark) van Bommel just to his right - the view
was obstructed somewhat.
"I could see the foot was high and from Alonso's reaction there must
have been some contact, even though I couldn't see the contact,
and being 25 minutes into a World Cup final I wasn't prepared to
guess. I wasn't prepared to fill in the blanks in my head to say
that was possibly a red-card offence.
"I wanted to base it on what we could see, so therefore I decided
to show a yellow card."
