Sir Alex Ferguson had once told that Inside Forwards are more dangerous than traditional forwards. The Egyptian seems to be trying to prove Ferguson's remarks true.

FIFA has nine standing committees and it's Development Committee is in charge of the Technical Study Group. This group is responsible for conducting the analysis of all FIFA tournaments from the World Cup to Futsol. It is also responsible for looking into new structural changes for the game and suggesting new rules and regulations. The most controversial among these suggestions had been suggested in the previous year by the Technical Study Group headed by Dutch legend, Marco Van Basten. He suggested 8 changes to the game to revolutionize it and make it more attractive to the younger generation. But many of these ideas have been termed as rubbish by most of the high profile managers in Europe and around the world. Many of them have criticized Van Basten for introducing rules that have been copied from other sports. These 5 suggested ideas out of the 8 have been severely condemned. Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger warned that removing offside rule would toll the death bell for
