Collina Explains Why Trezeguet's Goal Was Valid

For the Referee Designator, the Juventus' striker's goal was a legitimate one despite the protests of the Granata who had reacted angrily after conceding this dubious goal in the 93rd minute to hand the Bianconeri the three points.

Pierluigi Collina has spoken with regards to David Trezeguet's goal which ignited a lot of discussion on whether the player was effectively in an offside position or not when he scored the winner in the 93rd minute on Sunday evening.

"I'm glad to be able to clear out the doubts related to the episode which occurred on Sunday evening in the final minutes of the Torino-Juventus game to those fans who had asked http://www.aia-figc.it, he said.

"However, there should be no doubts, considering that the interpretation is absolutely known, as the numerous articles on the newspapers and various television interventions have stated."

"The goal of the Juventus striker is valid, not due to the Italian interpretation of Rule 11, which is about the offside, but due to the interpretation given by FIFA and which is applied in every country," he continued.

"One might not agree, but this does not matter: today the interpretation which is given by Rule 11 is that of considering Trezeguet's position regular, because he receives the ball from an opponent."

This will probably put an end to the discussions on this issue, even though the Granata fans might still not agree with Collina's point of view.

Trez was in an off side position, but didn't run with or at the Almiron header. It was towards DP. Trez was on side by the time the Toro defender knocked it into his path. That's the interpretation I believe the ref used and the commentators saw it the same way as have almost every site of read.

well that wasn't the case either, not only was Trez off side but he even managed to dodge the yellow for taking off his shirt.....blatant cheating

You forget that we don't make the descision's the ref does.
