It is probably truer today than ever that the game is made for dribblers. Firstly, we play on pitches that are so much better than they used to be. 4g technology means we have astroturf like the best laid grass, while outdoor grass pitch technology means drainage is maximized and wear minimized.
On top of those physical conditions lending themselves to a dribbling game, defensive tactics are improved to such an extent that even weaker teams can compete with much stronger ones and hold the hope of keeping their more talented opponents from scoring. At all levels players are fitter, and coaches are better. Teams, even youth ones, are more organized.
Here is a preview of what you'll learn...
- Understanding the rules and regulations
