Raymond Domenech, the violent load

Capable of compulsive rants on the canvas, Raymond Domenech distinguished himself this Thursday in the exercise, taking it clear to his technician counterpart Arsène Wenger, who now holds the function of Director of Development at FIFA.

In his new attributions, the former emblematic coach of Arsenal works to improve the laws of the game, and task in his latest project to make more readable-and less questionable-the rule of offside.

To do this, the advantage would be left to the attacker, who would only be tried offside if, and only if, his whole body exceeded that of the last defender. A proposal which is not to please everyone and which will soon be examined by IFAB, the international cell guarantees football laws, precisely.

A disrespect denounced

“” The Wenger law will allow you to be offside and marksummarizes in a tweet Raymond Domenech, who does not frankly approve of this idea. It will be enough with a piece of foot, a finger to offer a meter ahead of the defender. It's hard to age. And that will not prevent discussions. »»

Inevitably, the penultimate sentence of the former coach of the French team-” It's hard to age
– made more than one jump. This reflection is similar to a lack of respect for a figure in the French round ball.
