In recent big news in the football world, the Council of International Football Associations has proposed the idea of introducing a "blue card" in the game, and this rule sounds quite new: if a player commits a foul or **, the blue card can send them off for 10 minutes. It sounds a bit like a yellow card in rugby, but it's a first time on a football pitch. For a while, the reaction of various Premier League managers was overwhelming, and most people didn't seem to buy it.
KloppHe said that with the introduction of blue cards, the referee's decision will become more complicated, and people will start to discuss whether to give a blue card or a yellow card, which is not simplifying the game, but making things more complicated. He even joked that he had never seen such an "innovative" idea in 56 years of life, and it sounded bad.
PochettinoHe is also on the opposing side, and he feels that this will cause more controversy, not only for the referees, but also for the players and fans. His first reaction was, "Is there another color to be added to the game?" It's too complicated. "I think a lot of fans may be confused when they first hear the news.
However, there are also people who are neutralArtetaI don't know if you're ready for the blue card, but if you can do enough testing first, then it doesn't hurt to give it a try. It sounds quite rational, but I personally feel that the rules of football are complex enough, and with some new rules, ordinary fans like me may have to translate for a long time to understand what is going on.
PostecoglouwithMoyesThe reaction was more immediate, and did they think that football as a sport really needs such a reform now? Especially when VAR has already caused a lot of controversy, another blue card feels like adding fuel to the fire. Postecoglou even feared that if a player got a blue card in the last 10 minutes of the game, it could cause the team to start stalling for time, which would be a blow to the spectator experience.
Finally,EddieHoweI think it represents a lot of people's thinking, he said that the blue card and the yellow card are basically the same thing, the existing rules are already very good, the key is to use it correctly. The introduction of blue cards will only make the game more chaotic, and that chaos is not for the better.
As an average football lover, I prefer to keep the game concise and fluid. The charm of football lies in its directness and passion, and we look forward to great moments on the pitch, not endless arguments about the rules. It is hoped that the Council of FIFA will listen to the voices of all parties and carefully consider the introduction of this rule. After all, football is the common language of football fans all over the world, and we all want it to be more exciting, not more complicated.
