FIFA considers new rules, Liverpool s goal against AC Milan will not appear again

Everything is changing, and the world of football is no exception. As time goes by, various new regulations are being introduced. According to media reports, FIFA is planning to revise a number of new rules, involving video assistant referees (VARs) and penalty kicks. These discussions have begun and are expected to take effect during the World Cup next summer.

FIFA Council (IFAB for short) has the right to modify football rules, and all football associations around the world will implement the new regulations accordingly. It is reported that IFAB is considering revising multiple rules. If passed at the annual meeting in March next year, it can take effect after June 1, just before the World Cup starts.

These modifications include the authority of VAR, which increases intervention in factual situations, such as whether the corner kick is correct, and whether the person who touches the ball in the end is an offensive player or a defensive player. These behaviors are obvious facts and are difficult to controversial. Therefore, if VAR can intervene, it can greatly reduce the referee's subjective judgment errors.

At the same time, the penalty for the second yellow card is also under discussion. Because the second yellow card means that a player will be punished and left the court, sometimes the impact is greater than a goal. Therefore, the intervention judgment of VAR may make some "two yellows turn red" punishments seem fairer.

In addition, changing the penalty rules is also under discussion. According to the plan, if the goalkeeper saves the penalty, it is considered a "dead ball", and the entire penalty process has ended. This means that there will be no resuming shots, and no player or teammate who takes the penalty will have a second chance.

This change is quite interesting. If you cannot make up the shot, the psychological pressure on the free thrower will become greater. At the same time, when the penalty kick was taken, players on both sides rushed into the penalty area, would not happen, because it had become meaningless.

mentioned the penalty kick and scored, and everyone may think of the famous shocking reversal. When Liverpool fell behind AC Milan three goals in the Champions League final, Gerrard helped the team get a penalty. Now that Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso takes the penalty himself, he is saved by goalkeeper Dida. Alonso quickly followed up and scored a goal. Liverpool tied the score with this goal and finally won the championship in the penalty shootout.

What's more interesting is that in the second leg of the 2013 Championship promotion playoff semi-finals, Leicester City won a penalty in stoppage time. Watford goalkeeper Amunia not only saved the penalty, but also saved the opponent's supplementary shot, and then immediately launched a quick counterattack. Dini completed the goal and finally "killed" the opponent successfully advanced to the final.

There were rules for away goals at that time. Although the total score of two rounds was tied, Leicester City could advance by relying on the away goal advantage even if it did not score a penalty. However, instead of scoring the penalty kick, Leicester City lost the ball, and eventually missed the goal. This goal was named FIFA's best goal of the year and was also the most exciting reversal in the history of the English Championship. It was hailed as the 22 seconds from hell to heaven.

If the penalty kick cannot be supplemented, Liverpool's third goal will not appear. It is impossible for Watford to make a quick counterattack. The results of many games will change accordingly. In fact, over the past few years, both the rules on the field and the rules off the field have undergone considerable changes.

For the event, the three-point system is a good change. Since winning a game and scoring 3 points, the draw has decreased a lot, especially in the cup group stages of four teams and groups, where draws can sometimes become a key factor in the game. The refinement of offside rules in recent years and the advantage of canceling away goals have also brought about a lot of controversial voices, some people appreciate it, and some people think that chaos will occur.

In the just-passed Club World Cup, the new rule that the goalkeeper must not hold the ball for more than 8 seconds was officially implemented. Mamelodi's Sunset goalkeeper Williams wanted to delay time at the last moment, but was sentenced to "eight-second violation" by the referee and gave the opponent a corner kick. Although it did not cause any changes in the score, it also caused widespread discussion from the outside world. I believe that this rule will be implemented in major leagues soon and to some extent, it can effectively eliminate the behavior of delaying time.

FIFA regards the changes in VAR and penalty kicks, do you think it is reasonable?
