The Dutch legend has come up with some controversial plans for the future of football which have come in for some heavy criticism
Rennes head coach Christian Gourcuff has slammed the proposals of Marco van Basten to abolish the offside rule.
The Netherlands legend, who is FIFA’s chief officer for technical development, made a series of 10 proposals to SportBild on Wednesday, some of which proved controversial, though none as provocative as the contentious idea to scrap offside.
Gourcuff, who counts Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger among his footballing allies, was particularly hard hitting on the suggestion.
