Live broadcast bar, August 31 according to The Athletic report, Uefa will not join The ranks of using The new rules to supplement time, believing that this is damaging The well-being and health of players.
FIFA has been encouraging match officials to increase the catch-up time to make up for the game time occupied by goal celebration, substitution and VAR replay.
However, Uefa did not agree with this regulation. UEFA football director Boban responded in the interview: “This is absolutely absurd, it is related to the well-being of players, adding 12, 13, 14 minutes, almost half of the game time is increased. In terms of experience, especially as a midfield player, you will be tired in the last 30 minutes of the game. Someone will add 15 minutes to you. What is the reason?”
“We often criticize the schedule and too many matches. We didn’t listen to the opinions of the players and coaches. They have been complaining about this. Now I play six or seven more minutes per game. For some players, I play 500 more minutes per season, which is equivalent to six games. This is too crazy, so we won’t do this, our guidelines are different.”
Rosetti, chairman of the Uefa referee committee, also supported Boban’s view and said UEFA had been trying to increase the effective time of the match for five years, and the effective time of the Champions League last season was just over 60 minutes, 5 minutes more than the Premier League.
