Kevin De Bruyne Criticizes New Stoppage Time Rules After Man City's Loss to Arsenal

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has criticized the new stoppage time rules, saying that they "don't make any sense"

The new rules, which were introduced at the start of the 2023-24 season, require referees to add more time for various stoppages

This led to Arsenal and Manchester City playing 13 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the Community Shield

De Bruyne said that he believes the new rules are "unfair" to players and could lead to injuries

He also said that they "ruin the flow of the game" and make it more difficult for teams to manage their energy levels.

De Bruyne is not the only player who has criticized the new stoppage time rules.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has also said that he believes they are "unnecessary" and "unfair."
