The FIFA considers to approve the rule of the offside suggested by Arsène Wenger

The FIFA is considering to approve a revolutionary proposal suggested by Arsène Wenger, that could modify drastically the way to play to the football. The exentrenador French, and current director of global development of the football of the FIFA, looks for to change fundamentally the rule of the offside with the aim to favour the offensive game and reduce so much the controversies like the erroneous decisions of the referees.

According to the proposal of Wenger, would delete the current rule of the offside. In place to be penalised for being in position advanced in the moment in that it receives the balloon, an alone player would be sanctioned if it is more advanced that the penultimate defender in the moment in that the balloon is pateado to him. This modification would allow that a player was in legal position if a foot is to the height of the rival player, although the rest of the body was advanced.

As it informed The Athletic, the FIFA has urged to the International Board of the Association of Football (IFAB) to that it approve this normative revolutionary, which has been being tested. Up to now, the IFAB has agreed to tackle this new proposal after making proofs in the championship Sub-18 of Italy, as well as in future editions in Low Countries and Sweden.

It will take time the implementation in the upper levels

"The discussion on the change of the law of the offside is not new and is not something that will see entered in upper levels of imminent way. The FIFA engaged to test this new norm, that favours to the attacker, and that has applied in juvenile competitions selected in all Europe. We will continue with these essays, will evaluate the results and will argue them with all the parts interested notable", declared the French.
