A… revolution is just around the corner in football!
According to numerous publications from authoritative media such as “Telegraph” and “AS”the IFABthe body that decides football’s rules, is seriously considering starting trials for a new regulation that could completely change the nature of the sport!
Specifically, the radical move in question is the adoption of a… orange card. An intermediate, that is, card, which will result in the expulsion of a player for a short period of time (10 minutes) from the match, as in polo or rugby. In fact, it is possible that this originality will be tested at a top level, such as Premier Leaguefrom the new season!
This card will mainly concern protests to the referees but also regular fouls for the interception counter attack. More generally, ‘whining’ at referees is one of the main things the IFAB aims to combat, which under the new regulations will ban all players except team captains from addressing the referee! Anyone else who does will receive… an orange card!
At the same time, as the various publications emphasize, other innovations are also being considered, such as portable camera which they will have on them refereesin the context of discouraging negative behavior on the part of players.
