In an interview with "Le Parisien", of France, the president of Fifa, Gianni Infantini, proved to be a enthusiast of the use of technological resources to prevent errors in marking of obstructions in football. He quoted from the equipment location by GPS (Global Positioning System, in Portuguese, satellite positioning technology) and talked to limit the impediments from 16 metres from the bottom line. For experts, the change is feasible, in spite of exceptions.
Coordinator of the Reference Center and Business Intelligence of Coppe-UFRJ, Marcos Cavalcanti questions whether the system is the best option:
it makes No feeling to use technology in the existing GPS, which does not have the accuracy proven-and may have a margin of error of 2.5 meters, which for football is much. In general, the accuracy does not reach half a meter. In addition, you may have transmission problem with rains and thunderstorms.
For he, to distribute the sensors is an idea more plausible.
— The sensors have to be on the players and also the ball since it relies on when she comes out of the feet of the caster. This is doable and even cheaper today. A sensor costs US$ 5 — said Cavalcanti, who makes considerations. — The best and the more simple cameras, that already exist and are used in tennis, volleyball and american football, with the challenge request. The technology is cheap and already available.
The researcher post-doctoral specialized in innovation in the sport Maureen Flores, who maintains the blog "Sport and Innovation", on the site of the GLOBE, reminds us that technology is already used for the evaluation of performance of athletes, and launches questions.
— There will be real-time preview on the screen of the arenas? This would be perfect, since it reduces the combinations of income and corruption — he explained. — The referees modern will be qualified, and the former will continue screaming that the technology does not replace the man. The question is not to replace, but it will give transparency.
marketing Director in Latin America of the Dutch TomTom, a company specialized in GPS technology, Júlio Quintela does not believe in the difficulties to implement the geo-location.
— The concept is not in the GPS, but in geo-location. This already exists, just need to adjust to the football. There is no difficulty, the companies are ready. Just adapt and optimize, ” said Quintela. — The technology itself is not expensive, even more if we think of the scale. How many games are played every day? The unit price will be diluted.
Quintela complete:
— must Not miss companies that are not in the football and who would like to associate their brands if there was transparency and honesty. The cost would be easily absorbed, whether by sponsors or technology companies.
DYNAMIC IN the hot seat
Although considering the implementation of technology in football, something that is unavoidable, Antonio Carlos de Moraes, professor, faculty of Physical Education of the Unicamp, asks the resource.
— Have to be thought of the that can cause. In certain leagues and countries, will have the technology, but in others, not. This inevitably will happen. Are two weights and two measures, this is the X of the question. The rule in football has as a principle to be universal — recalled, citing another difficulty. — The offside is a situation which can happen a few or many times in a game. Imagine if you have a delay of 30 seconds for each decision. With eight impediments it is now four minutes.
