✍️ The soccer season has seen a resurgence of old-school tactics, with teams adopting long throw-ins, long clearances by goalkeepers, and crosses into the box for tall strikers.
👉 Rugby-style kickoffs are being used to gain an advantage 👉 Long throw-ins are being used to create chaos and scoring opportunities 👉 Tall, physical strikers are being signed to pump the ball towards the goal 👉 Goalkeepers are playing long balls to release pressure and beat the press 👉 Set-pieces are becoming increasingly important for scoring goals
