You’re right to a point but footballers only have so much energy – why waste it on fruitless runs into the box when you know the ball isn’t going to come?
Because fruitless runs into the box are part of a forwards job. Lineker said that nine out of ten runs into the box got him nothing but the tenth got him a goal, gambling, taking a chance, busting a gut to get there is all part of the job description. Does Eisa never put a ball into the box from open play?, answer is no, it’s the forwards job to gamble and also bend Eisas ear occasionally on service for him in the box. Not got the energy!!!! that isn’t even an argument, they are bloody professional footballers FFS.
