"The head of the FIFA Task Force, Franz Beckenbauer, would like players from different teams to shake hands not only before matches, but also after them. "The Task Force Football 2014" group is considering proposals to improve the image of football before the World Cup in Brazil in a couple of years. It consists of legends such as Pele, Cafu, Fernando Hierro, and others. After analyzing videos from major tournaments, experts suggested that players should not rush to change into their jerseys and should shake hands in the middle of the field after the final whistle. "I think the image would be better if no one refused to shake hands and everyone left the field together," Beckenbauer said, adding that after the break, the players should also step onto the field at the same time. "I used to do that in school. Leaving the field should be done the same way as entering it," the German insisted.
