Abu mai ban mamaki shi ne cewa bayanai sun nuna yawan sa hannun VAR a kowane wasa ya fi girma a wannan Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya idan aka kwatanta da Premier League a kakar da ta gabata.

Dalilin da ya sa Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya ta yi daban

Saurin da ake gudanar da Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya na taka muhimmiyar rawa. Wasanni suna biyo bayan juna cikin sauri, don haka duk wani lokaci na cece-kuce ya shude kafin wasan na gaba ya zo. A Premier League, magoya baya masu ƙauna mai zurfi ga kullobin su na riƙe rikice-rikice tsawon lokaci mafi tsayi.

Har ila yau, akwai dalilin tsari a bayan wannan natsuwar. A matsakaita, wasa na Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya yana samar da ɗaya kawai muhimmin lamari — katin ja ko da'awar fanariti. A Premier League, wannan adadi yana zuwa uku a kowane wasa. Ƙananan abubuwan da suka faru na nufin ƙananan wuraren tashe-tashen hankula.

Ƴan wasan kankare su ma suna ba da gudummawar wannan. A babbar gasar da duk abin yana cikin haɗari, ƴan wasan sun yi ƙarancin haɗari idan aka kwatanta da kakar wasanni ta wasanni 38. Wasan kai tsaye ya zama mai ma'ana fiye.

Falsafar Collina — da yadda take kama da Premier League

Shugaban alkalai na FIFA, Pierluigi Collina, ya gina al'adun alkalan gasar da gangan. Ya gaskata cewa ƙwallon ƙafa wasa ne na taɓa juna, kuma ba duk taɓa juna ya cancanci laifi ba. Yana so ya ga wasanni masu gudana cikin sauri — magana da za a iya ɗaukanta kai tsaye daga littafin ka'idojin Premier League.

Kididdiga laifuka sun tabbatar da hakan. Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya ta 2018 ta sami matsakaita na laifuka 27 a kowace wasa; Qatar 2022 ya kasance 25. Wannan gasar ta sauka zuwa 21.7 — kusan daidai da 21.6 na Premier League a kakar da ta gabata. Faɗakarwa ma sun faɗi sosai, matsakaita na 2.4 a kowace wasa — mafi ƙarancin kowane babban gasar ko Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya ta kwanan nan.

Ƙugiyar Collina mai tsawo don ɗaukar ƙalubale a filin wasa yana da tasiri kai tsaye a kan VAR. Ƙarancin laifuka da ake kiran su yana nufin ƙarancin dalilin kunna bitar bidiyo. Dukkansu biyu dole su tafi tare. Wannan shi ne ke bayyana dalilin da ya sa da'awar fanariti da suka shafi John McGinn da Scott McTominay na Scotland da Morocco aka ƙi — da'awa masu ma'ana, amma ƙasa da ƙugiyar da Collina ya saita.

Lambobin VAR da kusa

Premier League a riga tana da ƙarancin adadin sa hannun VAR a ƙwallon ƙafa na Turai a 0.29 a kowace wasa. A Qatar 2022, adadin ya kasance 0.41. A wannan Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya, ya sauka zuwa 0.33 — yana kusantar Premier League. UEFA Champions League, a haɗa haka, ta yi rikodin sa hannun 0.47 a kowace wasa a kakar da ta gabata — kusan ɗaya a kowace wasanni biyu.

Bitar da ake yanke hukunci — lokacin da alkali dole ya je motar nuni a gefen filin — ma suna daidaituwa. Gasar Cin Kofin Duniya da Premier League dukkansu suna a 0.15 a kowace wasa. Champions League ta ninka haka sau fiye da biyu a 0.36.

Saurin da nuna yadda komai yake canza duk abin

Ko da lambobi sun daidaita, ra'ayi ya banbanta sosai. Collina ya matsa alkalai na bidiyo su yanke shawarwari cikin sauri da ƙarfi maimakon zama suna sake duba waƙe-waƙe marasa iyaka. Shawarwarin da ake yanke da sauri suna barin ƙarancin sarari na shakka. Wannan tsarin ya yi ƙarfi a yawancin gasar — har sai bitar da za a ba Argentina fanariti da Austria ta ɗauki mintuna 3 dakika 40.

Zaɓuɓɓukan watsa shirye-shirye ma suna tsara ƙwarewar mai kallo. FIFA tana iyakance sosai sau nawa ana iya maimaita wani lamari yayin da ake bitar VAR, kuma ana nuna allon motar alkaƙin a bakin filin ne kawai idan alkalin filin yana amfani da shi a zahiri. A Premier League, Sky Sports da TNT Sports suna nazarin kowane kusurwa, suna rage sauti, suna kiran masanan — yayin da masu sharhi suna da ciyarwar sauti da bidiyo ta kai tsaye daga cibiyar VAR.

Fasahar offside ta nutsewa ta FIFA da aka inganta ta ƙara ƙarin mataki na kwanciyar hankali. Lokacin da ɗan wasa ya kasance a offside da cm 10 ko fiye, mataimakin alkali yana samun faɗakarwar sauti ta atomatik, yana kawar da buƙatar tutar da ake jinkirta, yana rage sau na bitar VAR masu alaƙa da offside. Laifi a wasan Spain da Saudi Arabia ya haifar da jinkirta mintuna uku lokacin da tsarin ya rikita ƴan wasan biyu, amma fa'ida gabaɗaya ta kasance a fili.

Babban darasi mai ɓangarori biyu ne: daidaito ya zama fifiko, amma sauri ne ingancin da ke yanke hukunci ko VAR yana kama da taimako ko nauyi. Kuma yadda fasahar ake gabatarwa ga masu kallo na iya zama da mahimmanci kamar yadda ta ke aiwatarwa da gaske.
