On Thursday, UEFA announced the end of the away goal rule that prevailed in the event of a tie in European Cup knockout matches.
Everyone can have their opinion, but the decision fell on the part of the European body. The last episodes with a series of matches behind closed doors but goals that counted more than others, finally convinced the undecided on the abolition of this rule which dated from the 1960s, when traveling from one city to the other. other could take much longer than now. The defenders of this rule believe that the dramaturgy of the meetings will take a hit. Those who approve of this decision like to remember that a football field remains a football field, and that goals are not worth more depending on the stadium where we evolve. A vast debate in which Daniel Riolo decided not to participate. For the RMC polemicist, this decision is a scandal, and all those who do not agree are ignoramuses that he has decided to block on his social networks.
« Here in the middle of the Euro we learn that the goal outside no longer exists. One of the craziest things about our football off the map. Disgusted. Playing in stadiums with atmosphere, considering that a team could be destabilized by that, feeling supported, galvanized, all of this is ignored by UEFA, which denies its own history. The institution no longer has any legitimacy if it does not preserve its history and traditions. Not to understand this rule is to understand nothing about the history of football. At Anfield, at Geoffroy Guichard in the 70s…. In the real of the early 80s… it was pure ignorance. Which club does not have a great moment in its history related to this rule? We have plenty of examples “Balanced Daniel Riolo, for whom there will therefore be no more atmosphere in the stadiums, no more reversals, no more historic matches, due to the disappearance of this rule.
To see in the years to come, but in any case, the RMC consultant leaves no room for doubt. To the first Internet users who came to contradict him, it took off quickly. ” Don’t mind, I’ll block you. There are subjects I don’t want to discuss… nor to explain… it is intolerant perhaps but erasing an entire section of the history of the European Cups apart from a con nobody can approve. There is no debate on everything. There is no debate in front of uneducated people on subjects… does that suit you? “, Swayed Daniel Riolo, who must obviously be relieved to see that RMC will not broadcast the European Cups next season…
