Basically, Achim Beierlorzer is a proponent of a return to consistent penalties for professionals who vehemently grumble at the referee. However, the coach of the 1st FSV Mainz 05 considers the timing of this to be questionable.
“As far as the players are concerned, I am in favour of bringing a fairer, more correct behaviour onto the pitch,” said the 52-year-old at the press conference in the run-up to the Bundesliga match on Saturday at Hertha BSC. Looking at other team sports such as basketball or handball, the teacher sees much more discipline: “There’s no throwing away the ball, there’s no pushing around. In this respect he acknowledges an educational aspect: “It has already improved because the players know “I can’t afford to run towards the ref anymore.”
