Footballs third age...

An interesting piece by Jonathan Wilson in todays Observer. It explains a bit about the Pep and Enzo way...
'Having the ball 100yds from the opposition goal is now deemed more valuable than not having it 30yds from their goal'
Still leaves me somewhat nonplussed about it all!

I haven’t read the piece, but the approach confuses me. I much prefer the Brian Clough philosophy that, if the ball is not in your half, the opposition can’t score!

as Leicester City fans, we've experienced winning the Premier League by not having the ball much! We're going to be the most difficult bunch to convince!!

I think the approach now is, If the opposition dont have the ball (at all) they cant score, so just keep possession full stop.
