but did he follow the rules on diving ....I mean is he a professional or not ???
So I found you some official rules on getting a good dive awarded on a how to site .......also known as simulation, and the act of faking a foul or injury in soccer. Its supporters call it strategy, its detractors call it cheap (and the players that practice it worse), but a soccer player is well served in knowing how to draw the referee's ire to the opposition.
1....Be sure to rid yourself of your dignity. You won't be needing it for this maneuver.
2....Ensure that you are near a player on the other team. Diving with nobody around will, at best, make you look like an imbecile.
3....Time your dive. While one could dive with no contact, it is very difficult to make it look realistic. Diving is better used to emphasize a real challenge, making a legal tackle look illegal, then it is to make no challenge look like a foul.
4....Go to ground. You want to throw yourself at the ground, in whatever manner you choose. However, ensure that it is consistent with the type of foul you are simulating. If you are faking a trip from behind, sprawl out forward. For a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge, fall sideways. To show a shirt-tug from behind, fall on your bottom.
5....Fake an injury. This is where you get to emulate the professionals... holding your leg and rolling around in pain. Again, be sure the faked injury is consistent with the foul and the fall. For a slide tackle from behind, hold your leg, to fake an elbow to the face, grab your nose.
6.....When the referee takes whatever actions he deems necessary, get up, limp for a few minutes (if you faked a leg injury) and get back into the game.
So you see its not just the dive but the ''quality'' of it ..you gotta practice , practice , practice to get the timing just right ,.. its not for everyone ....
