A huge change in the offside regulation is being prepared by FIFA, as revealed by the Director of Football Development of the World Federation, Arsene Wenger. According to a report in the "Times", the people of FIFA are expected to submit a proposal to change the rules at the next International Football Council (IFAB).
Use of the new regulation
The British media report states that the new regulation will consider a player "onside" if at least one of his body parts that can score (head, torso, legs) is covered by the defender. On the contrary, so far, the regulation has stated that in order for a goal to be valid, the attacker must be fully covered (except of course by the hands) by the opposing defender.
In case the FIFA proposal passes on February 29, without the need for a trial period, it will be valid from June 1, 2020, ie 12 days before the start of Euro 2020, in which the new use will be used for the first time. Regulation. If there is finally a change in the regulation, then it will have an impact on the VAR, as there are already "voices" especially in the Premier League for phases that are judged in στα millimeters.
Changing data
The use of VAR in England, and in the Premier League in particular, has prompted considerable backlash and comment, as referees remain loyal to their decision, despite the fact that the referees have made a mistake.
At the same time, however, there is intense discomfort for offside cases that are judged in millimeters, as a result of which no significant goals are changed that change the data of a match. For this reason, according to a report in the "Times", the managers of the English teams, asked the chief referees of the Premier League to count the goals normally (after using VAR) if the distance of the exposed attacker from the penultimate defender is shorter. of 10 cm.
A request that is set to spark discussions and reactions, but is on the horizon for next season, not this year, as no changes can be made in the middle of the season.
