Gerard Pique proposes to change the rules of football: no points for 0:0!

There are many innovations and proposals in the world of football, but some of them can have a huge impact. Former Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is proposing a radical change in football. According to him, no points should be awarded for a 0-0 draw to force teams to play more aggressively.

Pique: "Spectacular matches should not be watched 0-0"

Pique, who has his own views on the spectacle of football, recently proposed introducing new rules to encourage teams during a podcast interview with Iker Casillas.

— A fan who comes to the stadium after spending 100, 200 or 300 euros should not watch a 0-0 score. Something needs to change. For example, if the game ends 0-0, the teams should not receive any points. Imagine what the game will be like after the 70th minute! — said Pique.

This idea, undoubtedly, can help develop attacking football. Teams will try to open the score, abandon the defensive game, and this will make football more interesting.

The idea of ​​eliminating draws

At the same time, teams use a safe tactic by awarding a point to a draw. However, according to Pique, instead of this, football should have decisive results, like in basketball or tennis.

About a year ago, he put forward a proposal to completely eliminate draws. This idea caused various debates among fans.

Can Pique's idea work?

If such rules were introduced in major football competitions, games could become more interesting. Especially in the final rounds of the championship, it is possible that teams will switch to full offensive play, giving fans unforgettable moments.

However, this proposal will not suit all teams. For example, weak teams will use defensive tactics against strong opponents and will lose the opportunity to get at least one point.

But one thing is certain: Pique's idea will be hotly debated in the football world and may open the way for new ideas to make football more dynamic and offensive.
