The formulation of the “Away Goals” rule is a great invention of football that takes into account fairness and enterprising spirit.
From the perspective of the development of football rules, the introduction of the “Away Goals” rule can be called the greatest invention in the history of football development. The existence of the advantage of away goals makes the away team dare to attack. Both teams must bravely compete whether they are playing at home or away. Such enterprising spirit must be promoted by competitive sports. The existence of this rule allows both sides of the game to play a beautiful game with more aggressive and more active tactics.
Cancel the “away goal” rule to make utilitarian football more popular
Now UEFA has cancelled the PK of away goals, which means that both sides of the game may shrink in the backcourt, and it is difficult to make two draws. Then, overtime or penalty kicks will become the norm, especially for This is especially true for teams that are less powerful on paper. This is obviously not conducive to the principle of “encourage attack and encourage more goals” in football games. If it is said that FIFA’s abolition of offside rules during Blatter was to get more goals, then this change of UEFA is tantamount to adding a reason for the popularity of utilitarian football.

In the current rules, away goals in extra time put great pressure on the home team. In other words, once the away team has the opportunity to overtime, then they only need to score 1 goal for the home team, and the home team must score 2 goals in order to overtake, which will allow the away team to take the initiative. If UEFA wants to change, then after the teams enter overtime, the number of away goals of the two teams will be cleared to zero, which is equivalent to half an hour of a completely fair game. Only this reform can maintain the original rules. Encourage positive factors for attacking and scoring while making the game more fair for both home and away teams.
