The European Football Association (UEFA) has issued new laws that were planned to be in effect next season from the continental championships, but the fallout from the Corona virus on the witch's round has accelerated their implementation.
With the end of the local European championships, the Champions League and European League matches will be played with new laws.
After being suspended last March due to the Coruna outbreak, the European Championship will resume today with four matches, most notably Inter Milan and Getafe, Manchester United and Austrian Lask Lines.
While the Champions League returns tomorrow, Friday, two games Real Madrid against Manchester City, Juventus against Olympique Lyon.
Among the amended laws stand out:
If the ball hits the player's hand unintentionally, an error is not counted unless it leads to a goal. If the attack continues and the balls are exchanged, the error will not be counted. It will determine if the ball is a touch of a hand or not if the ball hits a place under the armpit.
As for assisted video ruling technology (var), it will be emphasized that the main judge makes decisions, follows them, and rules for himself if the decision needs amendment or confirmation, after many demands that the verdict is the decision-maker and does not depend on the mouse. If the match does not stop, the referee must whistle when the ball is in an area in the center of the field.
The penalties laws and the guards were also affected by the amendments, so the goalkeeper will not be warned in the event of a mistake while paying the penalty kick if the ball is not scored, unless it negatively affects clearly the ball.
A penalty kick will be punished with a yellow card if he and the goalkeeper break the rules imposed by UEFA, while the goalkeeper will receive the card when he fights the penalty kick bypassing the line the second time.
The role of the mouse technology will be detailed during the penalty shootout, to scrutinize the simplest mistakes, and allow guarantees of the rights of all teams, which makes the rulers ’decisions take longer.
Also, whoever prevents achieving a scored goal will receive a yellow card instead of a red one.
