LEVERKUSEN: Bayer Leverkusen coach Kasper Hjulmand questioned whether Champions League opponent Arsenal’s set-piece tactics are legal ahead of Wednesday’s last-16 first-leg tie in Germany.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Hjulmand asked whether blocking opponents should be permitted, particularly with the influence of set pieces in the game growing.
“It’s a big challenge but I have to say, I’m a bit confused by these offensive blocks. I don’t know if it’s allowed under the rules when the ball is very far away,” Hjulmand told reporters.
