He said, "The main problem in football right now is losing time.

"Right now I think you play an average of 50-60 minutes. We have to do something.

"Or you have to play with time stopped like in futsal... maybe we would see more football and better football.

"Out of 90 minutes, it's played 50-60 ... it's a bit desperate for the team that is losing or behind."
