The Champions League can break the law & quot; away goals & quot;
Yesterday, an open discussion took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, which became extremely hot topic in the press, thanks to the appearance of many of the world's top coaches discussing a law. Very Sensational Champions League: Goals Away. Invited coaches included Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery, Massimiliano Allegri, Julen Lopetegui, Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti, Diego Simeone ...

"Many coaches think that scoring the away goals at this moment is not as difficult as it was in the past," said UEFA's permanent secretary-general Giorgio Marchetti. So it's time for UEFA to consider a change. "

In keeping with the coaches, Daily Mail's Matt Barlow said the away goals were valuable in the past. But today, when the boundaries between the away field and the home is almost blurred in the relationship between the big, the away goal becomes a burden. It is too valuable to have a team.

In the past, home ground was a distinct advantage due to the large surface area. For example, many of Arsenal's Highbury clubs are unfamiliar with grass and feel that the field is smaller than the other pitches so often confused. But now the stadiums have a great identity. Among the Bernabeu of Real, Barca's Nou Camp, Manchester United's Old Trafford ... the difference is very little. So it would be unfair to double the value of an away goal.

Moreover, the law of the away goal was born to promote the visitors overflowing attack to find the goal. But now it is counterproductive when it indirectly pushes the home team to the defense to not lose. "If the away goals go away, we will have more first leg 0-0," Matt Barlow wrote.

There are also many reporters and coaches opposed the idea of ​​quitting goal away. They think the emotions that the away goals create is what football is increasingly lacking. The technical intervention has made the instinct of football lost, now also to lose one of the "emotional messenger" of the Champions League is not okay.

Also in the face of these coaches, UEFA is also working on the opinion that the top league such as La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 should close the "summer" on 9/8 like Premier League, instead of 31/8 as the current.
