At 10 o'clock in the evening, Weyrother, with his plans, moved to Kutuzov's apartment, where a military council was appointed. All the leaders of the columns were required to see the commander-in-chief, and, with the exception of Prince Bagration, who refused to come, all appeared at the appointed hour. Weyrother, who was the complete controller of the proposed battle, represented with his liveliness and haste a sharp contrast with the disgruntled and sleepy Kutuzov, who reluctantly played the role of chairman and leader of the military council. Weyrother evidently felt himself at the head of a movement that was already unstoppable. He was like a harnessed horse running downhill with a cart. Whether he was driving or was being driven, he did not know; but he rushed at all possible speed, having no time to discuss what this movement would lead to. Weyrother that evening was twice for a personal examination in the enemy's chain and twice with the sovereigns, Russian and Austrian, for a report and explanations, and in his office, where he dictated the German disposition. He, exhausted, has now come to Kutuzov. He, apparently, was so busy that he even forgot to be respectful to the commander-in-chief: he interrupted him, spoke quickly, indistinctly, without looking at the interlocutor's face, without answering questions made to him, was stained with mud and looked miserable, exhausted, confused and at the same time presumptuous and proud. Kutuzov occupied a small noble castle near Ostralits. In the large living room, which became the office of the commander-in-chief, gathered: Kutuzov himself, Weyrother and the members of the military council. They drank tea. Only Prince Bagration was expected to begin a council of war. At 8 o'clock the orderly of Bagration arrived with the news that the prince could not be. Prince Andrey came to report this to the commander-in-chief and, using the permission previously given to him by Kutuzov to be present at the council, remained in the room. “Since Prince Bagration will not be there, we can begin,” Weyrother said, hastily getting up from his seat and approaching the table on which was laid out a huge map of Brunn's surroundings. Kutuzov, in an unbuttoned uniform, from which, as if freed, his fat neck swam onto the collar, sat in a Voltaire armchair, placing his plump senile hands symmetrically on the armrests, and was almost asleep. At the sound of Weyrother's voice, he struggled to open one eye. “Yes, yes, please, otherwise it's too late,” he said and, nodding his head, lowered it and closed his eyes again. If at first the council members thought that Kutuzov was pretending to be asleep, then the sounds that he made with his nose during the subsequent reading proved that at that moment for the commander-in-chief it was about much more important than the desire to show his contempt for the disposition or for whatever be that as it may: it was for him about the irrepressible satisfaction of a human need - a dream. He was really asleep. Weyrother, with the movement of a man too busy to waste at least one minute of time, looked at Kutuzov and, making sure that he was asleep, took the paper and in a loud monotonous tone began to read the disposition of the future battle under the title, which he also read: "Disposition to attack the enemy position behind Kobelnitsa and Sokolnitsa, November 20, 1805". The disposition was very complex and difficult. The original disposition read: Da der Feind mit seinerien linken Fluegel an die mit Wald bedeckten Berge lehnt und sich mit seinerien rechten Fluegel laengs Kobeinitz und Sokolienitz hinter die dort befindIichen Teiche zieht, wirten im Gegentheil mit unserem deselt debluegel sehr Feindes zu attakiren, besondere wenn wir die Doerfer Sokolienitz und Kobelienitz im Besitze haben, wodurch wir dem Feind zugleich in die Flanke fallen und ihn auf der Flaeche zwischen Schlapanitz und dem Thuerassa Walde verfolgen defenitz die feindliche Front decken. Zu dieserien Endzwecke ist es noethig ... Die erste Kolonne Marieschirt ... die zweite Kolonne Marieschirt ... die dritte Kolonne Marieschirt ... [Since the enemy leans on the forested mountains with his left wing, and his right wing stretches along Kobelnitsa and Sokolnitsa, and behind the ponds we are there , on the contrary, we surpass his right wing with our left wing, then it is advantageous for us to attack this last enemy wing, especially if we occupy the villages of Sokolnitsy and Kobelnitsy, the defile between Shlapanits and Belovits, which covered the enemy front. For this purpose it is necessary ... The first column is marching ... the second column is marching ... the third column is marching ...] etc., Weyrother read. The generals seemed reluctant to listen to the difficult disposition. The tall blond General Buxgewden stood with his back against the wall, and, fixing his eyes on the burning candle, did not seem to listen and did not even want to be thought of as listening. Directly opposite Weyrother, staring at him with his bright open eyes, in a warlike pose, resting his arms with outstretched elbows on his knees, sat a ruddy Miloradovich with raised mustache and shoulders. He stubbornly remained silent, looking into Weyrother's face, and took his eyes off him only when the Austrian chief of staff fell silent. At this time, Miloradovich looked significantly back at the other generals. But from the meaning of this significant glance, it was impossible to tell whether he agreed or disagreed, pleased or dissatisfied with the disposition. Count Langeron sat closest to Weyrother, and with a thin smile of a southern French face, which did not leave him during the entire reading, he looked at his thin fingers, which were quickly turning over the corners of the gold snuffbox with the portrait. In the middle of one of the longest periods, he stopped the rotating movement of the snuff-box, raised his head and interrupted Weyrother with unpleasant courtesy at the very ends of his thin lips and wanted to say something; but the Austrian general, without interrupting his reading, frowned angrily and waved his elbows, as if to say: then, then you will tell me your thoughts, now if you please look at the map and listen. Langeron raised his eyes upward with an expression of bewilderment, looked back at Miloradovich, as if seeking an explanation, but, meeting Miloradovich's significant, meaningless look, sadly lowered his eyes and again began to turn the snuffbox.

Strangers in the wall

One of the most important changes to the rules of the game, which will take effect from June this year, concerns the wall during free kicks. Now it is forbidden for the players of the attacking team to get up in it. This will make life easier not only for goalkeepers, defenders and referees. The crush in the wall, the dragging out of time will stop, the game will become more spectacular. But not all new rules are good for football.

Referee's whistle

Many rules in football were formed very early. The referee's whistle sounded for the first time on the football field in 1878. Before that, the referees controlled the game mainly with their voice and hands. But on July 10, 1878, one of the matches in London was judged by a policeman. When a fight broke out on the field, he immediately blew his whistle. The fight ended. Since then, the whistle has become an indispensable attribute of a football referee.

Video replays as proof

And here is a rule that was introduced only very recently, in 2012. The FIFA Executive Committee, after much deliberation, allowed the use of these technical means... At the last World Cup in Russia, video replays were used to check three controversial situations: when it was a question of whether a goal was scored or not (including whether it was scored from an offside position), the appointment of a penalty kick and the removal of a player.

Disappearing spray

For the first time such a spray was used by Brazilians in 2001. Also in Brazil, the vanishing spray was used at the 2014 World Cup. With its help, the judges draw a line to install the wall and indicate the place of violation when breaking a free kick. The referee no longer needs to move the wall over and over again, as before. The spray contains mainly water and butane. The latter evaporates quickly enough.

No offside

There are also more radical proposals. So, this is not the first time football functionaries advocate the abolition of the offside rule: they say, matches will become more spectacular. In 2010, the then President of FIFA even spoke in favor of canceling the offside position. But it all ended only with the fact that in 2013 the rule of the so-called passive offside position was partially abolished.

Gate dimensions

The dimensions of a football goal, according to the rules, are 7.32 m wide and 2.44 m high. Why are the numbers so strange? These are actually English measurements: 8 yards and 8 feet, which corresponds to a 3: 1 ratio. This was defined as early as the 19th century. Nevertheless, proposals are constantly being made to increase the goal: they say, then they will score more, the game will become more interesting. But does it depend on the size of the gate?

Timeouts

Another suggestion is to divide the match into four quarters so that the coaches have more opportunity to give instructions to the players. And ten years ago, there was a discussion about whether to introduce time-outs, as is customary, for example, in basketball - 2 minutes per time and team. But in the end it was abandoned. Time-outs are only allowed in futsal: 1 minute in each half.

Post-match shootouts

The famous striker Marco van Basten in the past suggested replacing the penalty shootouts with shootouts. The players start moving from a distance of 25 meters from the goal, go one-on-one with the goalkeeper and must strike within 8 seconds. Eleven meters will only break through during the game. But the post-match penalties at the 2018 World Cup showed that it is a pity to part with such an exciting tradition.

Removal from the field for 10 minutes

FIFA is now discussing the issue of whether to introduce a temporary (for example, 10 minutes) removal of players from the field for rough play - in the event that a foul or a series of fouls does not draw on a red or even a yellow card, but still require a more serious penalty than a verbal warning. It is even possible to introduce orange cards in this case - in addition to the red and yellow ones.

"Golden goal"

From 1993 to 2004, the winner in the playoffs was determined by the "golden goal". If the team scored the ball in additional time, the game stopped immediately. The Golden Goal rule allowed Germany to become the European Champion in 1996. The decisive goal against the Czech Republic was scored by Oliver Bierhoff (pictured). In 1998, at the World Cup, the "golden goal" brought victory to the French in a duel with Paraguay.

Women's Football Bikini

In 2011, FIFA President Sepp Blatter suggested that, following the example of beach volleyball, dress women football players in new form: Slim-fit tank tops and tight panties. Then, they say, people will go to women's matches more. US captain Julie Foudy said to this: "We will only wear this uniform if Blatter is holding his press conferences in swimming trunks!" The idea was abandoned.
