A new rule is set to be introduced in La Liga this season. Coaches will now be able to request VAR interventions.

Just a moment...

What I always wanted. Inspired by crickets drs system.

Each coach will have two requests per match. If the request is correct, the coach will retain the right to make another appeal.

Like they to in Euro league basket!
This is gonna be a drama, lots of fun! I bet some fights too.
- Definitely!
This is how it should be.
Cricket stops between balls anyway. Football does not. Are managers going to be able to get play stopped just so they can challenge something?
- No, its the same as it is now. Refs go take a look at the end of a play. So if the ball goes out for a corner or smth, even if the event was 5 mins ago only once the ball I'd out of play can you review smth
  
  Sounds like we could be in a situation where one team wants a penalty, play rages on for minutes, and then the penalty is finally given. Meaning the previous few minutes of play... did they happen or not?
  Do those minutes get added on (since had the penalty been given and scored at the time, the next few minutes would have been different)?
  I hope they've thought this through or it could be an almighty mess.
