In the past, no matter what part of the body was used to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper could catch the ball with his hands to launch another attack, which made the pace of the game become quite slow at times.In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, the average goals scored in the tournament was only 2.21, which is the lowest in the 14 years since the World Cup, and most people think that it is because the players on the field are constantly passing the ball back to the goalkeepers. Most people believe that this result is due to the fact that players are constantly passing the ball back to the goalkeeper.
Therefore, after the 1990 World Cup in Italy, FIFA began to study how to change the rules. By 1992, the direction of the rule change was largely established, and Euro 1992 was the last tournament where goalkeepers were allowed to return passes with their hands.

The above video is from the Euro 1992 final. As Denmark took an early lead in the 18th minute, and had many free kicks since then, the Danes made good use of the rule by constantly knocking the ball back into the box to cut off the pace of the game, and to slow down the risk of conceding a goal.

Last year, FIFA introduced a new rule, which became what we now know: goalkeepers were not allowed to use their hands to catch a ball returned with their feet (with the exception of unintentional returns). This naturally caused some confusion at first, most notably in the first match when the Italian goalkeeper

Olli (Francesco Antonioli) then used his hands to receive the return pass, and as a result gave away an indirect free kick in the penalty area, which was directly broken by Joe Max Moore of the United States, and fortunately that game was still won by Italy.
The other was the first in 1992.

Some people say that the revision of the kick return rule can be regarded as the opening of modern soccer, so that soccer has a different face in front of the world, of course, soccer matches are not only offensive, but no goals in the game will sometimes be boring, if the goalkeeper is still able to use their hands to catch the kick return, that is like a

A Klopp-esque high pressure defense surely wouldn't have done this much good either.
