The goal by Hakan Calhanoglu against Monza at the Meazza continues to spark debate. Graziano Cesari, during the episode of Pressing, took a clear position: the goal is absolutely valid.

“It was a shot from very far away, Bisseck was beyond the defensive line but the condition is that, at the moment of the shot, the goalkeeper’s eyes must be able to see the ball and from the images it is clear that the goalkeeper could see the shot,” explained the commentator.

According to Cesari, the goal could have been disallowed only in a specific case: “It would have been a punishable position only if Bisseck had touched the ball.”

The images, therefore, confirm the regularity of the action that led to the Turkish midfielder’s goal. The goalkeeper’s visibility of the shot is the fundamental factor in evaluating the position of the Nerazzurri defender.
