Bosz hails new one‑minute rule as decade’s best after Groningen win

While players once lingered on the ground after injury treatment, PSV head coach Peter Bosz praised a new rule that forces a minimum one‑minute off‑field period, noting its impact in his side’s 5‑1 victory over FC Groningen in the match.

The regulation requires any player who has received medical attention to stay off the pitch for at least one minute before re‑entering play.

Bosz said he is enthusiastic about the rule, describing it as a positive development for the game.

He observed the rule’s effect immediately on the field during PSV’s 5‑1 win over FC Groningen.

“I find this the best rule of the past ten years,” Bosz told reporters after the match.

He added that he had always been irritated by players remaining on the ground, urging them to get up, be a man and continue.

Bosz concluded that the mandatory minute now allows players to resume play quickly, turning a former frustration into a tactical advantage, a change he highlighted after the Trots van het Noorden defeat.
