Pele says FIFA should field a match official behind each goal to assist the referee at the World Cup in a bid to avoid scandals like Diego Maradona’s infamous handball at the 1986 tournament.
Pele says he is in favour of five match officials being used in each game at the World Cup in South Africa from June 11, but is opposed to the introduction of video replays as he says stopping play to review a potential foul could impede a possible counterattack.
UEFA introduced the experiment of using five match officials in the Europa League this season.
Pele also says Robinho deserves a place on the Brazilian squad.
