Players have been warned they WILL be booked for diving or exaggerating the affect of small fouls.

But Uefa can be decided to attempt to cease players placing stress on refs to e book or dismiss opponents – particularly when they’re conning officers over what truly occurred.

And referees, together with England’s World Cup-bound Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor, have been urged to “take agency sanctions” towards players who attempt to con them into giving yellow or pink cards to opponents.

Rosetti mentioned: “When a participant tries to get one other participant punished, it’s unfair for soccer. 

“It represents unfair conduct by players towards their colleagues – a foul instance of disrespectful behaviour.”

The instruction from Rosetti is a part of Uefa’s dedication to “shield soccer’s picture”.

Euro chiefs need punishment for players who “try deception by means of acts of simulation or by over-reacting to light-contact fouls”.

Rosetti mentioned: “We don’t need to see this stuff within the sport.

“We are decided to guard the picture of soccer, and we take into account sure kinds of behaviour on the sector and on the benches to be unacceptable.”

Uefa can be introducing the brand new “semi-automated offside know-how” – with particular cameras monitoring 29 physique components of all players and a sensor within the ball.

That will are available in from the beginning of the Champions League group stage on Tuesday.
