IFAB again discuss a change of rule in football so that there are fewer goals

The International Football Association Board (IFAB)the agency responsible for regulating the rules of football on a global scale, returned to football and seeks to be news for modifying a historical rule.

Although no professional footballer asked for it, the Ifab I would be analyzing Modify the penalty rule to suppress rebounds. In question, any penalty that does not end in goal would automatically mean an arc serve in favor of the defender team.

This will reduce the goal chances of any team in any game, affecting the show in general. This is because there are some who understand that it is a great advantage for the team that attacks and in the balance is well above the fault generated by the prison.

Said modification, raised by Pierluigi CollinaChief of FIFA Referees Committeewould impact one of the most decisive situations of football and alter more than 134 years of history. It should be noted that the Ifab He had already refused to implement this modification in 2019.

What they will discuss is also partly to put an end to all discussions about the “invasion” of players to the area, before execution. Something that referees had to be able to handle and in any case rely on technology.

The journalist Martin Lipton explained the position of the drivers of this controversy proposed in an article in the British newspaper Dailymail.

“There are more and more supporters of the idea that a penalty would literally convert a shot. The leaders consider that, in most occasions, the punishment for one hand or a foul in the area – the criminal – gives the attacking team many more possibilities of scoring a goal than those that had prevented original infraction. Giving the attacking team a second chance to mark in the rebound is an additional additional advantage, especially because the goalkeeper must have one foot in the line or behind it when the penalty is thrown “public.

“I think there is an excessive difference between the occasions that the striker has and those that the goalkeeper has. An average of 75% of the penalty launches is already marked, the penalty is often a greater occasion than the fault. In addition, the goalkeeper’s rejection also has a chance? In my opinion, the goalkeepers should complain “considered the former referee Pierluigi Collina.

At the same time, the recent controversy for the execution of the prison of Julián Álvarezin the round of 16 of the Champions in front of the real Madridled to Ifab To modify a rule quickly.

The execution of the Argentine striker was annulled after the intervention of the Var for an alleged accidental double touch. Now, if that situation happens again the launch will be repeated if it ends in goalwhile if it does not, an indirect free kick will be granted to the rival team or, in the penalties, it will be recorded as failed.
