no, that wasn't it. It's all about the positioning of the hand
if the ball was at his side and it hit him at that close a distance then it wouldn't be a problem, but if you spread your arms out like that and make yourself big and then it hits you on the arm, then it's a penalty.
it was something John Terry was very good at getting away with a few seasons back
