The English Football Association withdraws the ball used in the matches of the FA Cup this season. Earlier, Spanish coach "Manchester City" Pep Guardiola stated that the ball "Cave" is not ideal for play. According to Guardiola, changes in the ball have led to a decrease in the number of goals scored. He noted that players are experiencing difficulties in controlling the ball and associate this with its new design. Nevertheless, the English Football Association claims that the ball meets all quality and safety standards. Representatives of the organization stated that the ball "Cave" was thoroughly tested and approved before being used in competitions.
