The 51-year-old explained that Joao Mario never intended to tackle the ball, but he could not avoid it because he was in the air with his eyes closed.
“Everyone who played football understands that it is not a handball, but a missed header,” Adani argued during his performance at La Domenica Sportiva (via JuventusNews24).
“Everyone who played football knows that you can jump over the edge because someone is pushing you, because you are afraid of contact from behind, or because you are out of balance.
“So if you try to lead the ball and, in the dynamics of your body balance, prepare yourself, but you miss the ball, it can touch you arm. That doesn’t mean you give a penalty away,” concluded Adani.
