There is a new highfalutin football jargon designed by commentators to give off the impression that they know what they are talking about by using pseudo-intellectual new buzz-words and phrases: ⚽️ “Defending deep” has become “low block”. ⚽️ “Closing down defenders” has become “high press”. ⚽️ “Giving the ball away” has become “transition”. ⚽️ “Winning the ball back quickly after conceding possession” has become “counter-press”. ⚽️ “Winning the ball back high up the pitch” has become “high turnovers”. ⚽️ “Passing the ball to the player who scores” has become “an assist”. ⚽️ “Number 10” has become “false nine”. ⚽️ “Defensive midfielder” has become “a pivot”. ⚽️ “Finding space” has become “pockets of space”. And don’t even get me started on the overuse of the word “jeopardy”.
