I wont say how to pass or how to score goals in this blog, that comes to any proffessional footballer as to how to pass and how to control the ball at the feet, what I'd like to talk about is how the game as a whole should be played, according to me as a footballer and a fan is end to end football, quick paced game, with many counter attacks, beautiful dribbling and genuine tackles....
The game should be such that both teams attack and both defenses on the edge of their feet, trying to play a high position up the field....A genuine 4-4-2 formation with one hodling midfielder and other 3 midfielders given license to attack would be the best formation for me and ofcourse have to allow the two wingbacks to go up and down the wing which allows the wingers to be a bit more free and sending in crosses or cutting inside and trying to score goals....That would be a dream sight for any football fan, seeing wingers cutting in and trying to score while the full backs attack and ofcourse while being countered, full backs tearing back 2 defend and the central defenders being posed that challenge to defend, thats the way game should be played, it should go from back to front within seconds.....this is the reason why English football is the most watched football league in the world, they play quick and pacy game and this is what is difference between other leagues and English league, in Spanish primera liga, u see fantastic football ofcourse, but, there is a big BUT, they pass around for such a long time and then in the final third, it breaks down and again you don't see a counter attack, you see a lot of passing which allows the defense to settle down and again break down of play...this is the reason why we dont see many tight games in primera liga, you see the score line of Barca 6-0, 5-0, etc.. Ofcourse with the exception of Real Madrid who concede even if the opponents dont try to create any pressure....
Its about time to play football the way it should be played, back to front way and again back(the way i call it), which is absolutely brilliant for the fans and poses challenges to the teams and provides a lot more tight games...
