And we actually do the opposite, right?
So a more and more popular coaching point is play what you see.
So this is the opposite.
This is like, again, clarity over deception, basically.
Yeah.
It's interesting that a lot of coaching actually tries to eliminate that, right?
When I was a kid, my coaches told me, like, don't use these, leave these backheel passes.
Leave this shitty, leave your backheel.
Don't use that.
That's stupid.
Because like you do it 10 times and it works nine times and then it doesn't work one time and they are like, oh, it can never work.
I mean, you can...
This is where I like to give clarity to vagueness, because vague is just like he did something, but when you look very closely, you can get a very clear picture of why that worked and why it's advantageous.
And obviously, you can make a Rabona, which is completely useless.
If you do this very, very slowly on your place, like if you're standing...
and you're just, like, pushing the ball over, making a slow touch with the wrong foot next to that, and then you do this Rabona pass while standing there, it's probably not effective.
It's just a pretty slow action, which has the same effect as putting a normal cross.
Why it's effective in this moment is that a defender tries to block the...
crossing of the attacker right so my positioning as a defender is always so i can i can put my leg out and block your cross and if um
If you put your crossing leg in front of the ball and not behind the ball, you cannot cross.
