Why Arsenal and Man City are bringing back long-ball football
Manchester City has also used longer transitions from scoring goals.
Unlike the Arsenal example above, long goals are often played with the intention of attacking instead of earning land.
Get the following example from the last Spurs game.
Spurs, the city aims to accumulate as well as by signing individual players closely. City scored a goal, brought some players towards the ball and convinced Spurs to follow up closer to their goals.
They also pushed Haaland to the field and increased the distance between him and the rest of the team. It was Omar Marmoush, who was standing in the big area between Haaland and the rest of the team.
The idea here was Haaland and to isolate the pointer. City, long -lasting, did not have to worry about trying to build it from congestion, especially without EdlerSon.
They were able to reduce the risk of admission, to invalidate Spurs’s strong aspects and to increase the likelihood of holding the ball by making Haaland fight in an isolated duel.
City also allowed the second ball to take the second ball and the positioning of Marmoush to be proactive while running forward from Haalanland to take off or short -term ball.
This was a well -embroidered movement and ended with a Marmoush shot almost wide of the task.
