During the Nice-Lens match on Saturday, referee Thomas Léonard employed a clever tactic to ensure smoother communication with the VAR system and prevent players from crowding him. To gain a measure of peace and avoid constant player appeals during his video assistant referee consultations, Léonard drew a line on the ground. This simple yet effective measure helped create a clear boundary, keeping the players at a respectful distance while he conferred with the VAR, thereby minimizing potential disruptions and disputes.
