After the introduction of Goal Line Technology and video assistance (VAR), the International Football Association Board, responsible for governing the rules of the game, intends to test the blue card in the coming months. According to The Telegraph, this would make it possible to sanction acts of anti-play and vehement protests against the referee. In addition, the offending player would leave his team outnumbered for around ten minutes and could even be excluded in the event of a repeat offense.
This system, already tested in the United Kingdom, should not immediately concern the major European competitions, the fact remains that its potential introduction has caused more than one reaction, like Mesut Özil who used it to chamber Atlético de Madrid. “So Atlético will only play with six players?”commented the ex-German international on his X account, visibly still marked by the intense duels he fought against the Colchoneros when he played in the merengue tunic.
