In order to promote the show and the increase in the number of goals, a new way of judging the offside will be experienced at the next IFAB (International Football Association Board). It is the Wenger law, already on trial in young tournaments in Sweden and Italy.
The former Arsenal manager had suggested that a offside position is only reported if the entire body of the attacker exceeds that of the last defender. For Raymond Domenech, it is heresy. “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 ”wrote the former coach of the French team on the social network X.
Domenech-WEGER, precedents
Almost fifteen years ago, Raymond Domenech had already openly criticized Arsène Wenger. He believed that he had made William Gallas too quickly replayed after an injury.
“I am disgusted and upset. It is scandalous and irresponsible to have had it replayed so early. It has an interest in being ready for the World Cup ”had taken the famous mustachioed while the World Cup in South Africa approached.
More recently, in 2021, Domenech again attacked Wenger for his project consisting in particular in organizing World Cups every two years.
