You can't grasp the body and hold your competitor otherwise there's a wrestling match.

Name the foul.
I'd go with charging and award a direct kick.

I was a FIFA and Pennsylvania State referee, as well as soccer coach for 25 years. You don't know the rules.

Yeah and we're to believe you. I guess I can say I invented soccer. You cannot grasp and hold another player as shown in the photo.

You must have invented soccer since you know so much about it.

Well, I played and later coached for several years. I couldn't tell the speed which the defender approached and how much he bumped the offense player. But I believe Dziadzi is correct and a direct kick is appropriate. Theses days, the next offense could be a warning, maybe two.... then a yellow. But a good referee just tells the defender, after the ball clears, to knock it off and watch the hands in close or more than a direct kick will result.

Is that legal?
It is part of the play of the game. That is why it is called a "foul", and a consequence applies to it.
