[Saba Sports News] Reports from the British media
indicate that the Premier League’s recent decision to extend stoppage time in
order to ensure the effective duration of matches has generated heated
discussions among Premier League clubs. Some clubs express their discontent,
believing that prolonging the game time might result in excessive player
fatigue, heightened injury risks, and potential issues related to physical
exhaustion, particularly in the intense environment of the Premier League.
Despite external criticism, the Premier League currently has no plans to revise
the rules. They argue that increasing the duration of matches can enhance the
excitement and drama, thereby attracting more attention from viewers.
