Kick-in can be seen in football instead of throw-in
The footballers may be angry with Arsene Wenger. FIFA has tried to host the World Cup for two consecutive years. The former Arsenal coach had a very important role behind this. This time Wenger is going to disturb the footballers in another matter. Except for the goalkeeper on the football field, there is no legal way to catch the ball with one's hands. The footballers only got a touch of the ball with their hands during the throw-in. This time Wenger is taking it away.
Kick-in may be introduced in football instead of throw-in. At least FIFA wants to go that route. Football legislators have allowed the process to be piloted.
Honestly, Wenger has no objection to the footballers holding the ball in their hands. His objection wasted the footballers' time trying to throw-in. The International Football Association Board's (IFAB) Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday gave a test run to see if it is really possible to start the game quickly through kick-in instead of throw-in. The second division of the Netherlands has shown interest in this matter. Kick-in can be seen there.
Wenger is at the top of FIFA's football development agenda. He has a responsibility to think about how to spread football around the world, how to develop the game. That's why he first objected to the throw-in last year. He then said that playing through throw-in wastes time. And in some cases the opponent gets the advantage because the players of the team who get throw-in are less on the field.
Arguing last year, Wenger said he had come up with something out of the ordinary in order to arouse the interest of the younger generation. These are throw-in and free kick. And it's time for the goal kick, because now the game starts from the box. Our goal is to make the game more interesting and faster. And maybe throw-in can be done with the feet. For example, it has to be done in 5 seconds. '
IFAB has asked to start the kick-in experimentally tomorrow. He also wants to find a 'more acceptable way to calculate time' to play with. He is also thinking of introducing 'stop clock' technology for that purpose. In hockey, rugby and basketball, when the ball is out of play, the clock is off, and football is being considered. A statistic for the 2021-22 season has been found. It has been seen that in the 90 minutes of the English Premier League, an average of 55 minutes and 3 seconds has been played with the ball. More than 1 minute has been played in the Champions League. La Liga has the lowest of the top leagues.
In a statement, the IFAB said, "In addition, the referee's decision in the middle of the game, the acceptable way of calculation during the game and kick-in have been discussed. The AGM is well aware that permission is needed for these and other trials and that IFAB and FIFA will jointly monitor these trials.
