.... i mean, even the player himself felt that he already was in the air, there was no force between his foot to the floor, only minimal touching.

Sometimes you have to officiate.

touching - touching - did you say the FOOT WAS TOUCHING!

I tried to give you a clue. Also - if a player does not believe that he committed a violation or foul - does that make it true?

I can't read the player's mind, and I don't intend to try. If the foot is touching, it's touching. Minimal touching is all that is required.

and btw you try to read the player mind. for eample when you call for foot ball... you call only if its intentional no?

You could look at it that way, but whether he hits the ball intentionally is indicated by actual behavior and movement of the leg. Whether he thinks he's airborne is much more difficult to determine. And irrelevant.
