Introduction of blue cards in football - possibly the most popular topic after such an idea was approved. This topic raised questions at a press conference of "Premier" league coaches.

The manager of "Tottenham" Ange Postecoglou also expressed his opinion: "One team will play with a man less for 10 minutes. Do you know what all of this will turn into? It will ruin football.

One of the teams will simply retreat, try to waste time for ten minutes waiting for the punished player to return.

Every sport tries to speed up. For some reason, we inexplicably try to move backwards instead of forwards," said the 58-year-old Australian.

A player can receive a blue card for interrupting a quick attack, a harsh foul, or disrespect towards the referee. Trials will begin in the summer. However, it is unclear when this rule will be applied to major leagues.
