Football has evolved throughout yesteryears and it continues to evolve to this day and age, though there is a general consensus about the reduction in the quality of football or perhaps, the players themselves.



Being an avid football fan has always been exciting no matter how much the game continues to evolve, and football continues to find a way to intrigue fans.



Football fans across the world have seen the dawn of the &#8220;quick passing but free-flowing&#8221; era of the Scottish side of the mid to late 1800s, which had been transcended through similar styles exhibited by the Austrian Wunderteam of the 1930s, the Hungarian &#8220;Mighty Magyars&#8221; of the 1950s, the Ajax team and Dutch National team of the 1970s, Barcelona&#8217;s &#8220;Dream team&#8221; of the 1990s, and Barcelona&#8217;s &#8220;Tiki Taka&#8221; side of the early 2010s. But due to the high demand in more athletic forward players, elite teams now seek to dominate their opponents through the wider regions, using pacey, powerful or nimble, and direct wingers, whilst full backs may or may not invert.

I have observed that, elite teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Barcelona are seeking to play pacey, powerful or nimble, and direct wingers who can take advantage of vacant spaces to either create or score goals. The tactics of these teams will revolve around these players.

I believe this idea reflects the influence of players such as Mohammed Salah, Sadio Mane, Leroy Sané, Raheem Sterling, and most notably Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It wouldn&#8217;t be about who dominates the midfield as it used to be.
