Blue card and Mourinho, which everyone opposed so much, were different

Jose Mourinho expressed a positive view of the Blue Card.

The Blue Card is a new regulation that the International Football Council (IFAB) announced earlier this month. Unlike conventional yellow cards and red cards, the Blue Card will result in a 10-minute exit. Those who commit a deliberate foul to prevent an opponent's chance to attack or make an excessive protest against the referee will receive a Blue Card.

Blue cards have been suggested as a solution to fouls, which seem severe to give yellow cards and harsh to order red cards to leave. You can think of it as an intermediate stage between yellow and red cards.

Many coaches voted against the impending change. Tottenham Hotspur manager Enze Postecoglou said, "The blue card will ruin the game," and Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe also expressed his negative opinion. He once said, "The system is working fine at the moment. Adding a blue card only adds to the confusion."

FIFA also opposed it. After the IFAB's announcement, FIFA said in an official statement on the 9th , "I want to make it clear that the introduction of blue cards in professional football is still inaccurate and premature," referring to the need for sufficient discussion.

Despite the strong opposition, it eventually led to the postponement of the introduction. According to the British newspaper "Goal Dotcom," on the 10th, "IFAB postponed the introduction of blue cards in professional soccer." Blue cards, which faced numerous opposition votes, are expected to be discussed again.

However, some expressed positive views. It is Mourinho. Mourinho is a legendary coach who has taken the helm at Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United, and AS Roma. The Sun of England reported on the 15th, "The former coach broke his silence on introducing blue cards into professional football. Many people argued that blue cards would not be good for modern football, but Mourinho said that they could have a positive effect."

"I think there's always a feeling of change, and I'm not sure if it's going to turn into a good change. I think it's good if the blue card doesn't accumulate after a 10-minute exit and it doesn't lead to a suspension, so you can play the next game," Mourinho said.

"What I don't understand very well is that yellow cards pile up and you can't play one game due to the accumulation of warnings. If it's to get rid of this, I like it. Maybe it's a reasonable situation and it's difficult for the team to deal with it in certain games," he added. The opinion was that it would be good if the accumulation of yellow cards could solve the accumulation of warnings.

Meanwhile, Mourinho is now unbeatable after his split from AS Roma. With Klopp Liverpool and Barcelona boss Xavi set to leave their respective teams at the end of the season, Mourinho remains an attractive candidate for the next coach.
