...The stupid kicking out rule change may work against us in the short term...
Not sure what you mean exactly, but I wanted to pass on a new "kick-off trick".
The new rule says the defender may receive the goal kick from the keeper inside the box.
The little workaround goes like this (and the IFAB is already asked to adjust the rule again):
the keeper has to take the goal kick from the 6 yard line.
He chips the ball to his defender - while opponent players must stay outside the box -
and the defender heads the ball back to the keeper,
who now is allowed to pick it up, move further up the pitch and throw or kick it somewhere
AND he has several seconds to do so -> time wasting...
Several 2nd and 3rd German league teams have done it already, so be prepared if you watch it in PL matches... ;)
