Hi Football lovers, Get to know the Penalty Regulation "ABBA"

The 2017 FA Community Shield match between Arsenal vs Chelsea Sunday night, Wembley Stadium (6/8) must be determined by a penalty shootout. After 90 minutes, the team drew both teams 1-1. In the penalty shootout Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-1. History was created where the first time the FA used ABBA penalty system. Many who do not know the difference of this penalty system with a penalty ABBA that we usually see in other matches.

The ABBA Penalty System was approved by the International Football Association Board in March 2017 and was first tested in the U-17 European Cup event. If previously in the penalty shootout kick each team alternately execute the ball with the format of kicker A (team 1), replace the kicker B (team 2), then kicker A, and so on, then in this Community Shield is different from the ABBA penalty system the execution flows are: AB-BA AB-BA AB for each of the five kickers in which the team A's kicker will start on penalties, and then forwarded with the kicker from team B, when again the kicker from team B but with different executor, two different kickers from team A, and so on.

This system is motivated by the results of the London School of Economics and Political Science research which states a team has a winning percentage of 60 percent times as the first kick executor. FIFA through this research provides a suitable solution for both teams to compete

However, after the game, many fans in the social media are criticizing this new rule. The rules are a lot on the downside, tangled against the tense side that became the essence of watching the match on penalties. In addition it can also eliminate the desire of players to be the first kicker, who had been expected to be able to score goals and make the situation more comfortable for the. Because with the rules ABBA, the second kicker more benefited, because if he failed to execute a penalty, there is still a third kicker, which in fact his teammate, for goal scorer.

Moreover, in the fake drama of humanist entertainment and entertainment, it is lost in the ABBA rules. The first kicker can take advantage if he scores a goal, but if the next two kicker of the team against the goal scorer, then change to 2-1 and that is an advantage. Especially if the first kicker missed the goal, then the profits changed to 2-0.

Well, for FIFA or any other football association on earth to create a fair match regulation for both teams to compete without prejudice to the preoccupation of the match on the pitch. FIFA and other associations responsible for football should also take into account the viewing angle of spectators, football industry players and other football lovers.
