There is no doubt that this refereeing vocabulary helps us to understand the work of the officials in a football match much better, an excellent learning exercise.

Didn't get the ''indirect free kick'', the defensive line caught the striker offside so the referee awarded an indirect free-kick. It is right? Isn't it direct free kick it is?

Hi Weiqing Zheng
When we talk about claims we are probably talking about goalkeepers. Goalkeepers claim the ball by catching crosses or coming off the goal line to claim (take) a ball before the attacker gets there.
Here's a link that might help: http://www.optasportspro.com/es/acerca-de/blog-optapro/posts/2012/optapr...
In this link, you will see the word connected to crosses.
Hope that helps,
