Van Basten predicts FIFA changes
FIFA are considering making a change to the rules allowing only captains speak to the referee, according to Marco Van Basten.
The Dutch legend is now the chief technical development officer for world football's governing body and confirmed FIFA is discussing this and also how video evidence, which is used during rugby union matches, could be implemented in football.
"There are a lot of players now who are complaining during a game," he told the BBC. "I am sure the behaviour of the players can be better - we are thinking about putting it back in the right direction.
"This is what we have to do to help the referees.
"We try to make a good product - dynamic, exciting, but in the end also honest.
"There's a lot of emotion in the game and that's what's good - but we have to control it also.
"I think we can learn from every sport and they can learn from us - but we have to confront the problem."
