Milan midfielder hugs the ball past the person

Italy Midfielder Brahim Diaz used two hands to hold the ball to escape the opponent's encirclement, without penalty when Milan drew Cremonese in Serie A on the evening of November 8.

40 minutes, Diaz received the ball on the right wing of Milan and began to dribble, when two Cremonese players rushed to block. During the defeat, the Milan midfielder held the ball right in front of the opponent's shoe, toss it up and then used his foot to pass to his teammates. The situation ended with striker Ante Rebic's shot hitting the opponent.

Referee Antonio Rapuano did not recognize Diaz's error and allowed play to continue. Cremonese players also did not signal the error to the referee, and the commentator did not mention the situation. Diaz literally took the ball past him.

VAR did not intervene in this situation, as it did not lead to a goal or risk a red card. Handball errors in such a situation only deserve a yellow card, whether Diaz intentionally or not.

Milan did not score in this match, accepting a 0-0 draw with the host. Stefano Pioli's teachers and students are still second in Serie A, but have been eight points behind Napoli after 14 rounds.

Diaz was born on August 3, 1999 in the city of Malaga, Andalusia, Spain, grew up in his hometown training camp before moving to Man City. He played only five matches in the Premier League, then joined Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 17 million USD. Diaz is on loan at Milan, scoring four goals in 12 Serie A games this season.
