There are less than three weeks left until the start of the new season of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
New rules may be introduced in the new championship. This rule is already being applied in European competitions and some leagues.
According to these rules, only one person — the team captain — can participate in discussions regarding the referee's decisions. The publication "Sport-Express" reported on plans to implement this rule in Russia. If the captain is the goalkeeper, he can delegate his authority to one of the players on the field.
This rule aims to reduce disputes between referees and players or coaches. The goal is to prevent pressure on referees and ensure a fair environment during the game. The new rule serves to regulate the relationship between teams and referees, as well as to help ensure that the game proceeds in a healthy and orderly manner.
Communication should only occur between the referee and the captain, which helps prevent unpleasant situations. This serves the original purpose of sports — fairness and competitiveness.
The introduction of such innovations in the Russian Premier League is hoped to improve the quality of the game and the level of organization.
