Heine Allegmagne, who invented vanishing spray that has been in use in World Cup 2014 said that UEFA will use it in Champions League for the first time next season and hopes that it will be adopted in the Premier League soon. Vanishing spray which has been hugely successful during the World Cup is used to make sure defensive walls do not encroach on the 10-yard gap and it last around a minute before it disappears.
While speaking in Belo Horizonte ahead of the Brazil v Germany semi-final, said "It's already been agreed that UEFA will use this in their championships. Some people have been conservative but I hope that people around the world, including the Premier League, will be impressed by what they have seen in this World Cup." He further said that "The Eureka moment came when I was listening to the radio and the commentator was talking about the wall not staying back. It came to me I could do something. I wanted to solve a technical problem that had been plaguing football for more than a century."
The spray was first used in Belo Horizante and was first called Spuni before Allegmagne teamed up with Argentinian, Pablo Silva, to improve it. The spray costs around £3 and he has provided 320 to FIFA for the World Cup in Brazil.
