Luis Enrique Endorses Studying Rugby-Style 'Orange Card' for Temporary Dismissals

He frames the idea as a way to make matches more attacking for supporters.

Overview

  • Speaking at a press conference, the Paris Saint‑Germain coach said he would consider a 20‑minute temporary removal for fouls, echoing rugby’s sin‑bin concept.
  • Rugby applies 10‑minute sin‑bins for certain offenses, whereas football now uses yellow cautions and permanent red‑card expulsions.
  • He referenced Michel Platini’s past suggestion to play with 10 players per side as an example of bold changes worth evaluating.
  • PSG are second in Ligue 1, one point behind Lens, after a Coupe de France elimination to Paris FC earlier this week.
  • Luis Enrique said the club is open to winter reinforcements without rushing decisions or reacting to the cup defeat.
