On the 8th, the International Football Council made a temporary amendment to the current substitution rules and passed FIFA’s proposal on five substitution places for a single game.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 9 (Reporter Wei Hua) on the 8th, the International Football Council made temporary changes to the current replacement rules and passed the Fifa proposal of five replacement places for a single game. The original intention of this proposal is to reduce the possibility of players being injured, but once the new rules are implemented, the changes brought about by the football match are far from the case.
Affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, most football matches around the world have been suspended. Considering that once the game recovers one after another, intensive schedule and hot weather will increase the risk of player injury. According to the provisional amendment, from now until the end of this year, FIFA allowed the number of substitutions for each team in a single game to increase from three to five, but in order to ensure the smoothness of the game, it could only be carried out three times.
For a head coach, his tutorial level is not only reflected in the daily training and the arrangement of the starting lineup, but also reflected in his ability to read the competition. Substitution adjustment is sometimes for tactical needs, sometimes for delaying time, sometimes for the manager’s punishment for the players, and sometimes just for the players to enjoy the applause of the fans alone. It can be said that in modern football matches, substitution adjustment has become the concentrated embodiment of coach’s tactical philosophy and personal will.
Like the inbound tactics of Formula One racing, when to change people and how to change people are also a big highlight of football matches. The classic game of reversing the game through substitution is numerous in the history of football, and stars like Cruz and solskaya who are named “Super substitute” in the green field are also everywhere.
It is not difficult to see from the amendment that FIFA has made temporary changes to the substitution rules from the perspective of ensuring the health of players. Although the number of substitutes has been increased, the number of substitutions remains unchanged, which also eliminates the possibility of further delaying the time by using the chance of substitutions in the competition. Just like the update of offside rules, the introduction of video assistant referees and other new football rules, this temporary replacement of new rules is bound to be an interesting topic.
In football matches, sometimes the scenes of being forced to play 10 to 11 due to using up three replacement places too early are not few: the final of the 2012 European Championship, the Italian team Tiago Mota substitute came to the stage soon after he was injured. At this time, no one of the “blue clothing Legion” behind the score could fight. If the goalkeeper is sent off, the game will even lead to the situation of Harry Kane, Palacio and other forward players guest goalkeeper. Five substitute places will reduce the occurrence of this embarrassment to some extent.
Who benefits most from the introduction of the new rules for changing people? It must be one of the top Giants with millions of soldiers. A strong team, not only the starting line-up stars are shining, but also many players with different characteristics are usually sitting on the bench. The increase of substitution quota for a famous coach like Klop or Zidane means that once the battle is unfavorable, they will get more freedom of adjustment and room for trial and error, and will not be as cautious as before because there were only three replacement places.
From the perspective of dressing room relationship, the new rules can also make the head coach better balance the player’s playing time. Take Juventus as an example. As a Serie A “Banba”, the team can completely discharge two sets of lineups with the strength to compete for the championship. However, the thick bottom of the class is “happy troubles” and “unstable factors” for manager Surrey. Big players like Ramse and rabiao have complained that the game time is too little. Today, with five substitution places in hand, Surrey will have more opportunities to appease the team’s big players.
From this point of view, the advent of the new rules has inadvertently brought “hidden welfare” to the Giants, which is also a “class privilege” that grassroots teams cannot enjoy “.
