the crazy new rule proposed by Jurgen Klopp

Last weekend, Borussia Dortmund may have lost the Bundesliga title on a gross refereeing error. Then leader, Dortmund had only been able to recover a point (1-1) on the lawn of Bochum (15th) and had therefore allowed Bayern Munich to go back in front. But Edin Terzić’s men should have benefited from at least one penalty after a gross foul by an opposing defender on Adeyemi. After the match, the match referee admitted his mistake.

Asked about this in the German magazine Kicker, Jurgen Klopp said he was in favor of the “challenge” rule that can already be found in tennis, for example. This would allow the coach to impose the video to better analyze a contentious situation that the referee has misjudged. “There are many good examples of how this can work like field hockey, where the challenge has long been proven”he confided.
