It is not a revolution, but the implementation of the green card during the U20 World Cup still marks a small evolution in football. Established by FIFA, this device allows selectors to challenge an arbitration decision by calling on the VAR (coaches have the right to use it, at most, twice per game). At a press conference this Thursday, Didier Deschamps said he was generally for this new rule.
“There will be for, counter. Why not. If it must evolve and there is this possibility, we will use it. But it is not I who make these decisions. But from the moment it goes in the direction of limiting errors, I consider that it is positive. Afterwards, may not be abused. When you are a player or coach, the most difficult thing to digest is injustice. So if it allows for less injustice … Any initiative, without distorting basic football either, which goes in this direction, that suits me. “
