'That's crucial' – Midfielder names something which makes Enzo Maresca a top coach
Enzo Fernandez found himself in a little bit of controversy last night, picking up a red card for a vicious high kick in Argentina's game against Colombia.
He will receive a ban of a minimum of two games – and it could be extended further.

The positive side of that ban is that it means he's out for both Argentina games in September, so he can stay in England and recover after a busy summer.

The first feature of that busy summer is Chelsea's participation at the Club World Cup, and coincidentally Enzo had spoken to FIFA.com about the tournament not long ago:
'It's a really important competition, especially as it's a global one,' the midfielder said.
'The world will be watching, and we'll try to perform to the best of our ability. It's almost the end of the season for us, so we'll be looking for one last push and going all out to win the title, which would be a huge deal for the club.'

He added that 'naturally' Chelsea were 'aiming to lift the trophy.'
Enzo on what makes Maresca special
Away from the CWC, Enzo was also asked about his manager and namesake, Enzo Maresca. As all the players seem to, he had very positive things to say about the gaffer's coaching:
'We've only been working together for a relatively short amount of time, but like I've said repeatedly, he's a great coach. He gives us lots of tips on a day-to-day basis. He's a very good communicator, both when walking us through drills or tactics in training and in terms of explaining the game plan when matches come around. He's there to help us every single day, both as footballers and as people. I think that's crucial for a player.'

🚨 No visa, no paradise: Ayrton Costa misses the Club World Cup
Ayrton Costa misses the Club World Cup, according to reports from 'Ole' or César Luis Merlo. Boca Juniors tried until the end, but the United States Embassy informed the player that he will not be granted a visa and will not be able to enter the country. Costa has been denied the trip to the USA due to his criminal record, and while he was a player for Independiente in 2023, he already suffered a similar ban. Advertisement His record shows a prosecution for theft, a case that was resolved through probation in 2018. In addition, the player was charged in an investigation for alleged cover-up in a femicide case, in which his brother is the main suspect. Because of these precedents, the defender was unable to board the plane that took the "xeneize" squad to the United States last Sunday and will not do so now.

Club World Cup officials get instant offside call
Club World Cup officials will use an accelerated semi-automated offside technology that will tell them to stop the game immediately if a player who is more than 10cm offside touches the ball. It is one of the most significant initiatives being introduced for the 32-team tournament in the US and is aimed at reducing needless delays. Advertisement Assistant referees will receive the notification instantly rather than having to wait for the technology to check positions and distances - as is the case with semi-automated offside (SAO) systems used in most major leagues. SAO was introduced into the Premier League on 12 April, before which the video assistant referee (VAR) made all offside rulings. The introduction of the enhanced SAO comes a month after Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a serious abdominal injury after crashing into a post during their Premier League draw against Leicester. He had been chasing the ball despite a clear offside that had not been given. Advertisement Among the other developments in use at the tournament, which starts on Sunday, are: Referees wearing body cams that allow live pictures to be shown immediately before the game and on delay during it. An eight-second countdown for goalkeepers to release the ball. VAR pictures shown to fans in real time inside the ground. Be braver with offside decisions - Collina In the aftermath of the Awoniyi incident, team-mate Ola Aina said the injury "would never have happened" had the assistant referee raised their flag earlier. The enhanced element of SAO will not work if a player who does not play the ball is offside, or in a crowded situation. International referees chief Pierluigi Collina said officials therefore need to be "braver" with their offside decisions at the tournament. "Since the very beginning we have told the assistant referee 'in case of doubt, keep the flag down'," said Collina, the Italian former World Cup final referee who is now chairman of Fifa's referees' committee. Advertisement "If you raise the flag, it kills everything, including the possibility that the VAR can help you. "But we are aware this has led to some consequences. "Probably the assistant referees went a bit far. What was a doubt became bigger and bigger and bigger. "There are possible offside incidents where top assistant referees, as there are in many competitions around the world, would not have this doubt. "Despite the introduction of this [technology], we have also reminded our assistant referees to be a bit braver and more courageous in putting the flag up when the offside is offside. Two metres offside cannot lead to a doubt." Countdown for goalkeepers A new plan to speed up the game will be implemented at the Club World Cup and the European Under-21 Championship, in which referees will only allow goalkeepers eight seconds to release the ball. Advertisement After three seconds, the referee will raise their hand in the air and count down from five to notify the goalkeeper he has to release. If he fails, the attacking side will be awarded a corner. Collina said it will largely be a preventative measure and that a corner was awarded twice in 160 games when it was trialled in South America. "The referees should be flexible," he said. "If a goalkeeper has the ball for 8.1 seconds it is not necessarily a corner. "But we have had a lot of instances of goalkeepers keeping the ball for 25 seconds. There is nothing entertaining about that." Anthony Taylor took charge of the 2022 Club World Cup final and, along with Michael Oliver, is one of two English referees who will officiate at this year's tournament [Getty Images] VAR replays to be shown in stadium As in previous Fifa tournaments, the on-pitch referee will communicate VAR decisions and the reasons for them to supporters in the stadium. Advertisement For the first time, fans at the match will be able to see the replays the officials are being shown. However, there will still be no broadcast of the discussions in the VAR hub. Collina urged patience for those who cannot understand why football is not yet implementing something commonplace in rugby, cricket and all major American sports. "I cannot tell you if something more might be added in the future," he said. "But we need to do it when we are sure this will not affect the decision-making process. "When they are doing their job, which is very difficult, the VARs and the referees are under pressure. Knowing everyone is listening may add some pressure. Advertisement "We are a work in process. We have not to forget that, although VAR feels as though it has existed forever, the first match with it was 2016. "We have to be patient." Bodycam footage on delay Fifa will show live images from referees' bodycams, which will be attached to their earpieces, before the game, in the tunnel and during the warm-up and coin toss. However, there will be no live images shown during the game and, although goals and moments of skill will be shown with a delay, anything controversial or in bad taste, such as a player suffering a nasty injury, will not appear. Although the images would be available to VAR, Collina cannot see how a camera next to a referee's eye would detect something the official had missed. Advertisement What it will do, Fifa believes, is show the game from a unique vantage point and "enhance the storytelling". To that end, it is an entertainment concept. "That is clear," said Collina.
