The Impact of Revised Additional Time Rule on Football Matches: Hein Vanhaezebrouck Expresses Concerns

2023-08-13 21:00:00

Hein Vanhaezebrouck may have won at Westerlo, but he had something to say regarding the refereeing. More specifically regarding additional time, revised upwards this season.

This is a trend that had already been observed at the World Cup: the football authorities now want each stoppage in play to be counted in order to add additional time at the end of the match. This therefore gives an added time of 7 or 8 minutes, or even more, much more often than before.

And that does not please Hein Vanhaezebrouck at all, when 8 minutes of additional time had been counted during Westerlo-La Gantoise. “I don’t understand a thing regarding that. After all, nothing happened in this match that justifies that, right? On the days when there will be 2 or 3 VAR interventions, will we end up with 15 to 20 minutes?” , he launched into the microphone ofEleven.

“It’s still a new rule, I don’t know how to follow it anymore. In a few months it will be 4 to 5 minutes once more. But hey, it’s typical, should I say”, resigns Vanhaezebrouck, who is not stranger to post-game rants.
