A new debate has erupted at the World Cup, but this time the focus is not on the refereeing or the VAR system. At the center of the controversy is the official ball of the tournament, which is raising concerns among players and specialists.
According to a report published by the British daily "The Telegraph", aerodynamic experts have raised the alarm about the behavior of the ball during flight in the air. Preliminary analysis suggests that the design and materials used in its manufacture cause the ball to change direction unexpectedly, especially when hit with force from a distance.
The most frequent complaints have come from goalkeepers, who find it difficult to predict the trajectory of the ball. According to them, the sudden movements in the final moments of the flight make it much more complicated to react and anticipate shots towards the goal.
The situation has brought to mind the famous case of the “Jabulani”, the ball used in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Even then, many players and coaches criticized the ball's behavior due to its unusual movements in the air, which affected the development of matches.
While goalkeepers continue to express their concerns, it seems that strikers could benefit from this situation. The unpredictable trajectories could increase the possibility of spectacular goals from distance, giving a new dimension to the game in this edition of the World Cup.
