Is the trend of long throw-ins, which has spread rapidly in the Premier League, already under threat? According to The Guardian, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) is considering several measures, such as adjustments related to offside, video assistant refereeing (VAR), or even the introduction of a countdown timer for throw-ins. The aim is to encourage faster, more attacking play and prevent these throw-ins from becoming de facto mini free kicks. Indeed, according to Stats Perform, the number of long throw-ins has more than doubled this season in the English league, rising from 1.52 to 3.44 per match. As a result, effective playing time drops to 54 minutes and 21 seconds per match, two minutes less than the previous season. While waiting for these proposals to be examined in January, there is still time to follow the advice that Thomas Gronnemark, the world expert for throw-ins and consultant for Liverpool, Dortmund or Ajax, gave to VCoaching to improve in this area.
