Arsene Wenger's proposal to introduce kick-ins is being discussed at the top but, in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Liverpool throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark explains why it is a mistake with consequences that would detract from the game...
Kick-ins were discussed at the latest meeting of football's law-making body IFAB in Doha on Monday. While FIFA president Gianni Infantino said there are no plans for a formal trial just yet, Arsene Wenger, the organisation's head of global development, is a fan.
Speaking last year, the former Arsenal boss argued for the return of the kick-in option that was removed in 1863. "The target is to make the game more spectacular and quicker. Maybe with throw-ins you could play with your feet in a limit of five seconds, for example."
