The penalty kick is an "unprecedented" change in the history of football
Since soccer has adopted penalty shootouts as a penalty for irregularities in the penalty area in the late 19th century, those decisions on the execution of cruel punishment are controversial in the world of football and are often resolved as a result of important matches and perhaps entire tournaments.
But the "penalty kick", which has gone through many changes in its history, is now approaching the strongest and most important change in its history, which could change many of the world's top sports accounts.
Penalty kick, or penalty kick, as fans usually call it, is a free kick in the rules of football.
The kick is carried out 11 meters from the goal line, and requires that there is no player from both teams within the area of the 18 during the implementation only the goalkeeper and the player who will implement the kick.
The player is entitled to kick the ball to kick the ball directly into the goal, not to go the path of the ball back during the implementation, while the guard may move right or left on the line of the goal, but is not allowed to progress on the line only after the kick already, All players are entitled to enter the penalty area only after kicking the ball, which is very difficult to implement in practice. Excesses occur during the implementation process.
But football lawmakers are now looking for an unprecedented historic penalty shoot-out, according to Telegraaf, a key aspect of its law.
In accordance with the planned amendment will be canceled follow-up players of the two teams to kick after payment, in the sense that the game will end once the shot is completed, whether entering the goal or turn it outside to a goal kick, or respond to the goalkeeper or one of the players or the crossbar of the ball.
According to the Telegraph, the above means that the penalty kick will be in the same way as the penalty shootout that is taken at the draw in the outcome of a match must end with the victory of one of the teams.
The aim of the proposed amendment is to counteract the phenomenon of players defending the borders of the region in the penalty shootout, or entering the 18 area before execution, which the referees can not prevent. Most of them can not return the penalty when the offense occurs because of the huge objections.
It is noteworthy that the implementation of the penalty has undergone several changes throughout the history of football, most notably the rules of the goalkeeper and the way of implementation, but it never touched the end of the follow-up players of the two teams of the game, which means that the new change, will be the largest of its kind, in the history of penalties.
The previous amendment is one of several changes being considered by the FIFA Board, the "Board", assigned to the rules of the game.
The Board also discusses other legal rules, including a different definition of hand-wringing and the elimination of the description of "intentional", which is left to the discretion of the referee and the aides, and raises the conditions of several storms of controversy.
