Famous journalist Andrey Shakhov reacted to information that UEFA is considering the option of canceling extra time in Champions League playoff matches.
Andrey Shakhov“There have been discussions about possibly abandoning extra time. As for me, this is yet another nonsense from UEFA.
It’s better to remove completely made-up fake/artificial tournaments like the Nations League and the Conference League, reduce the number of participants in the European Championship and the World Cup, cut the number of qualification matches, and make the qualification process, like in Asia, tiered, so that conditional Liechtenstein doesn’t play against England.
Otherwise, once again, you will remove something really interesting and spectacular, but not yielding additional profit, and at the same time start telling how you care about the football players,” — Shakhov wrote in the Telegram channel “Shakh and Shakh”.
