🤔 Basketball-style action: LaLiga manager aims to revolutionise football | OneFootball

There’s not enough happening in football. Over the years, a lot has been discussed to combat this supposed realization. Often, the ideas were too absurd for a serious discussion. Is a veteran coach about to change that?

Manuel Pellegrini knows his way around football. The 72-year-old has been a professional coach for decades—and clearly still brims with new ideas.

“A rule that would improve football would be that, after crossing the halfway line, the ball can no longer be played back into your own half,” was the suggestion made by the Betis Sevilla coach at a press conference on Thursday.

The LaLiga coach’s hope: “The game would be more dynamic and closer to the opponent’s goal.”

What do you think of the idea? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
