Das Schweizer Nachrichtenportal „RTS“ hat nachgerechnet: Neymar lag bei den vier WM-Spielen Brasiliens bereits 13 Minuten und 50 Sekunden am Boden. Das entspricht rund drei Minuten auf dem Rasen pro Spiel. Viele Spieler wie Ronaldo haben Neymar zwar verteidigt, aber den Ruf als theatralischer Spieler hat sich der 26-Jährige in Russland verdient.

+++Uefa lässt künftig wie bei WM vierte Einwechslung in der Verlängerung zu+++

Wie bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Russland ist künftig auch in den meisten europäischen Fußball-Wettbewerben bei Verlängerungen die Einwechslung eines vierten Spielers möglich. Das gab die Europäische Fußball-Union (Uefa) am Donnerstag in einer Mitteilung bekannt. Diese Neuerung tritt mit Beginn der kommenden Saison in den Uefa-Wettbewerben Champions League, Europa League und Super Cup sowie in der Europameisterschafts-Qualifikation in Kraft.

In der in diesem Jahr erstmals angesetzten Nations League ist die Einwechslung eines vierten Spielers in der Verlängerung lediglich im Finale möglich, teilte die UEFA dazu weiter mit. Nach einer zweijährigen Testphase hatten die Regelhüter des International Football Association Board IFAB im vergangenen März die Neuerung der vierten Einwechslung in die offiziellen Regularien aufgenommen. Sie gilt seit dieser Weltmeisterschaft. Der Russe Alexander Jerochin war am Sonntag in Moskau im Achtelfinale gegen Spanien in der 97. Minute der erste Spieler, der als vierter Mann ins Match gekommen war.

Unter anderem der Deutsche Fußball-Bund hatte an dem Pilotprojekt teilgenommen. Im DFB-Pokal darf seit dem Achtelfinale der Saison 2016/17 ein viertes Mal in der Verlängerung gewechselt werden. Auch bei der U21-EM in Polen vor einem Jahr war dies bereits erlaubt.

+++Japans Trainer Nishino tritt zurück – Gerüchte über Klinsmann+++

Japans Fußball-Verband will den Vertrag von Trainer Akira Nishino nach dem Achtelfinal-Aus bei der WM in Russland nicht verlängern. „Wir werden Nishino nicht überreden, weiterzumachen, nachdem seine Zeit als Nationaltrainer endet“, sagte Verbandschef Kozo Tashima nach der Rückkehr des Teams nach Japan am Donnerstag. Als Nachfolger für Nishino ist Medienberichten zufolge auch der frühere Bundestrainer Jürgen Klinsmann im Gespräch, mit ihm soll der Verband demzufolge bereits Verhandlungen aufgenommen haben.

Der Verband wollte die Gerüchte um Klinsmann und mögliche weitere Trainerkandidaten nicht kommentieren. „Es ist noch nichts entschieden“, sagte Tashima am Donnerstag auf die Frage, wer der nächste Nationaltrainer des Landes werde. Der vorherige Sportdirektor Nishino hatte das Amt im April nach der plötzlichen Trennung von Vahid Halilhodzic übernommen. Er hatte die Blauen Samurai zum dritten Mal in die K.o.-Runde einer WM geführt, dort schied die Mannschaft beim 2:3 gegen Belgien durch ein Gegentor in der Nachspielzeit aus.

+++ WM für Schiedsrichter Brych wohl beendet +++

Die WM in Russland ist für Schiedsrichter Felix Brych einem Bericht der „Bild“ zufolge mit nur einem Vorrunden-Einsatz beendet. Der Münchner steht nicht mehr auf der Liste für die weiteren Partien in der K.o.-Runde, wie die Zeitung am Mittwoch schrieb. Der Weltverband Fifa wollte dies zunächst nicht bestätigen, kündigte aber eine Mitteilung an.

Auswechslung Uefa

Gomez für Werner: Wie bei der Weltmeisterschaft lässt die Uefa künftig auch eine vierte Auswechslung in der Verlängerung zu.

Brych hatte bei der WM das brisante Duell der Schweiz mit Serbien geleitet und war danach wegen eines nicht gegebenen Elfmeters von serbischer Seite angefeindet worden. Als bislang letzte deutsche Referees hatten Walter Eschweiler und Adolf Prokop 1982 bei einer WM jeweils nur einen Auftritt gehabt. Bei seiner ersten WM in Brasilien vor vier Jahren hatte Brych noch zwei Vorrundenspiele geleitet.

+++ Claudia Neumann wehrt sich gegen Hetzer: „Geht länger zur Schule“ +++

Nach Tagen der Anfeindungen hat sich ZDF-Kommentatorin Claudia Neumann erstmals zu den badistischen Beleidigungen gegen sie geäußert. „Ich finde das einfach grauenvoll“, sagte die 54-Jährige der „Zeit“ (Donnerstag). „Man kann den Menschen nur immer wieder zurufen: Geht länger zur Schule. Bildet euch weiter, erweitert euren Bewusstseinshorizont, dann lernt man auch, andere Haltungen zu tolerieren.“ Die Hetze gerade in sozialen Netzwerken sei „kein Claudia-Neumann-Problem, sondern ein gesellschaftliches Phänomen“. Während der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft ist Neumann online aufs Übelste beschimpft worden. Das ZDF stellte Strafantrag gegen zwei Nutzer.

Jürgen Klinsmann

Neumann ist die einzige Frau, die im deutschen Fernsehen Spiele der WM in Russland kommentiert hat – viele Beleidigungen waren frauenfeindlich. „Vielleicht brauchen Männer ihre kleine Oase des Rückzugs, in der man sie Kind sein lässt“, sagte Neumann nun dazu. Verändert habe sie ihre Arbeit angesichts der Hetzer nicht. „Ich knicke doch nicht vor diesen Leuten ein.“
