Hardheaded Analyst 'as the hots for the new trend in football
Right, 'ere's the goss, matey. I've been keepin' a close eye on the latest footy craze that's got everyone talkin'. Paris Saint-Germain's gaffer, Luis Enrique, 'as been causin' a right stir with 'is bold tactics at the Club World Cup. What's the big idea, you ask? Well, it's all about bootin' the ball into touch from the kick-off, innit?
Now, I know what you're thinkin'. It sounds like a load of old bollocks, right? But 'ere's the thing, matey. It's actually workin' a treat for PSG. They've been scorin' goals left, right, and centre, and it's all thanks to this madcap approach.
Vitinha's at the 'eart of the action
The midfielder's been the one responsible for sendin' the ball flyin' over the sideline, deep in the opposition's defensive third. And while it might seem like they're givin' up possession, it's actually a clever ploy to put the pressure on their rivals from the get-go.
PSG 'ave been usin' this tactic to press their opponents deep in their own 'alf, tryin' to force a turnover in a dangerous area. And it's been payin' off big time, with the Parisians scorin' the openin' goal inside the first 20 minutes on three separate occasions.
The trend's catchin' on quick
But 'ere's the kicker, matey. Enrique's not even the one who came up with the idea in the first place. Nah, 'e nicked it from Olympique Lyon, of all teams. "We saw them do it, and I liked it," 'e said. Cheeky bugger, innit?
But 'ere's the thing. Enrique's already 'inted that PSG might be scrapin' the tactic soon, seein' as teams are startin' to figure it out. "At first, it worked well," 'e said. "But now teams are startin' to figure it out."
Will the tactic stand the test of time?
So, will this madcap approach be a game-changer in the long run? Who knows, matey. But one thing's for sure, it's certainly got everyone talkin'. And if it 'elps PSG to keep rackin' up the goals, then 'oo are we to argue?
