Jesus H Christ, here comes the media with this month’s new “tactical innovation” which isn’t just the basics of football and something which we did 10-15 years ago.
I look forward to next week’s article introducing the 4-4-2 formation as the next great invention which we’ve totally never seen before, complete with TWO strikers who play as ACTUAL strikers!
I’ve heard some clubs are even looking at a revolutionary shift in goalkeeping, where players prioritise shot-stopping and catching the ball instead of passing and ball control.
Honestly, this article makes it sound like nobody’s dribbled a ball in decades - are we really pretending that dribbling is some lost art and not a common feature in every fucking game that’s played at every level?
It really doesn’t. If you read to para 2 you’ll see this: ‘of course it would be ridiculous to describe something as natural and elemental and ubiquitous as dribbling as a lost skill.’
You joke but tifo did a video a year or two ago about how pep was playing a revolutionary new formation, the 4-4-2. Of course pep’s 4-4-2 was different to a classic 4-4-2 but then again very few teams ever played a classic 4-4-2 anyway.

You ask for too much.
