Miha: ‘Offside rule must change’

Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has called for a change in the offside rules, claiming you can’t ‘rule out a goal for a nose or a shoulder’.

Ahead of the match against Milan on Saturday, the Rossoblu coach pointed out the need to address the offside rules, despite accepting that ‘we must adapt’ to VAR.

Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has called for a change in the offside rules, claiming you can’t ‘rule out a goal for a nose or a shoulder’.

Ahead of the match against Milan on Saturday, the Rossoblu coach pointed out the need to address the offside rules, despite accepting that ‘we must adapt’ to VAR.

“I think me need more tolerance because that’s how the show goes. Ruling out a goal because you have a nose or a shoulder offside seems too much, even if the rules are clear,” Mihajlovic told the reporters at a press conference.

“In my opinion, it must change. You must have a margin beyond that before it becomes offside. But one good thing about VAR is the offside.

“It is signalled even for a millimetre. It has often happened to us, both for and against. We must adapt but I hope something will change in the future.”
