Neymar the first victim of time waste
Neymar Jr., the captain of the Santos Brazilian team, was penalized for the enforcement of a new rule aimed at reducing time-wasting during matches. He was forced to leave the field for one minute during Santos’s victory over Vasco da Gama. The rule states that if the game is stopped to treat the goalkeeper, the coach must select a field player to leave the pitch for one minute after play resumes. If no player is chosen within 10 seconds, the team captain must carry out the decision. In the match, Neymar had to leave after Santos’s coach failed to select a player within the allotted time, highlighting the implementation of this rule, which will also be used in other competitions such as the English Premier League, with the goal of limiting time-wasting.
