Nolan Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 Link is broken for me too. But looking at the new rules, i can't see anything that is "anti - pressing" In fact the only new rule i can see that would be effected by pressing is this rule: Goal kicks Under the old legislation, the ball was dead until it left the penalty area after a goal kick was taken. Now, the ball is in play from the moment it is touched and it can be played before leaving the 18-yard-box. The change ‘creates a faster and more dynamic restart to the game’ and stops the tactic of wasting time when a defender deliberately plays the ball before it leaves the penalty area knowing that the goal kick will be re-taken.

John D Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 Think there is a view that the change to goal kicks will make it more difficult to do the early press at a goal kick as the attacking players aren't allowed in the penalty box giving defenders more time to play the ball out as they can be in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 From the couple of pre-season games I’ve seen, keepers have taken goal kicks literally 2-3 yards to a defender to play out. If anything o think this could make the press more effective when done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild-saint Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 although, havnt we scored about 3 goals as a result of the high press in preseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 31 July, 2019 Author Share Posted 31 July, 2019 Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 Try that. Pretty sure, as mentioned in some of the comments, that a flick up isn’t allowed? He could just chip it but that would be risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the Laws to prevent flick ups many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the Laws to prevent flick ups many years ago. Thought so. Also, I notice that Vestergaard interpreted the new ‘no offensive players within a metre of the wall’ by standing a metre directly in front of the wall for JWP’s free kick on Sunday. . Not sure that’s what FIFA had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the Laws to prevent flick ups many years ago. Can see the argument for it being a deliberate trick, but IFAB have commented on this since it happened in the Milan - Benfica friendly last week and said it's fine.

If IFAB have said it's OK then fair enough but I don't really see the point of it all. Why not just let the keeper pick up the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 1 August, 2019 Share Posted 1 August, 2019 God there’s enough fannying around without allowing players to ponce about in the box from a goal kick. We need a few more keepers hoofing it towards 20 blokes congregated into about a quarter of the pitch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
