Rugby football or? Arsenal adopted a controversial tactic at the start

The Paris Saint-Germain of the Luis Enrique orchester chief owned an old English tactic, highlighted by Graham Taylor in 1991, during an unconnection of Three Lions in Poland. Knowledge and a style of rugby engagement to start his games.

The Parisians practiced it during their campaign victorized in Champions League, last printlemps, against Liverpool, Arsenal and even in the final against the Inger Milan. And rebelote throughout the club’s world coupe this summer. Staff have found nothing to complain about.

As soon as the initial whistle, the European champions no longer try to consult the ball to build the game, it balances it the most posseration near the horn pole, and prefer to be out of the field. The but is the simplification of provoking a rebate and putting the opponents under pressure.

Uncipher proves that this method is not overwhelmed. When a touch -up made in the central part of the land (between the reputation surfaces), the ball is affected by a teammate in 85% of the case, this percentage decried at 68, when a Touch Ecleee less than 18 meters in the line of but of an ED.

So why is the discontent in front of this unconventional tactic, but which has only laughed at elf and which does not resesmembly in Riien at the anti play?

The English have suffered too long from the Inage of their (Site notre bureau spécialisé): The Longues passes forward and a technique lacks. Since the Premier League has been united, the game has become Beaucop more technical, fast and interesting.

As some ghosts of the resounding scene – large numbers 9 and accent put on the strokes of quoted pedys – the rugby style emgagung is considered and yet it did not really penalize PSG, which has never worn so well.
