"Santos" team's forward Neymar offers football officials to adapt to the changing game.

According to the veteran, a radical adjustment of the offside rule could be the first such step.

"I would like to change the offside rule – the referee would only call a foul when high passes are made.

If the ball is on the ground or is flying at chest height, the game could continue.

Football has changed and now more attention is paid to strength and intensity. Of course, because of this, we are losing an entire generation of ball-dribbling masters.

Now I could name just a few: Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Cherki. Football has become a very physical sport," explained Neymar.
