Since according to you I am ignorant to tactics and football knowledge, I'd rather not continue that discussion. It's for your own favour not to engage with such a "limited" person like me when it comes to football tactics. And there, you got your definition.
But not the CM? Someone is afraid of Marchisio's role in the team?
There is no need for such response.
true "limiting" is what barcelona does. A player is restricted from risky trough balls and dribbeling. Generally this is done with weaker players, but also with certain creative players who have poor decision making.
The effect is that only the players who got the right skills can pull off those moves, where as the others have a poor risk/reward ratio.
What most idiots refer to as "limiting" is simply instructing creative players certain runlines and objectives to carry out in his role. A clear example is Belgium's wingers against Algeria, and against USA.
Against Algeria, they had no restrictions. The issue is that they all want to feel the ball, and naturally drift inside to receive it, clogging it up, not using the flanks, ruining the teams offensive flow. Against the USA both Mertens and Hazard had clear instructions. They could swap positions with De Bruyne, but the winger had to fall back onto his direct opponent when not in possession, and when in possession, the winger had to keep the playfield wide, and find space there. When one of the wingers moved to the center, the cam (De Bruyne) would take over the wing position and upheld the same rules.
Because of these limitations, belgium created a crapload of space, the best offensive game of this tournament so far, and a ridiculous amount of chances
Limiting the creative players with tactical guidelines, improved the team as a whole drastically.
As you can see, there are two kinds of limiting, and a good tactical coach will improve his team with it.
Beautiful.
haha, someone gave me a response, haha
seriously, go cut yourself maggot.
