 The rejected stone had once again become the chief cornerstone, not in the sense a lay man will think about it, but every football fanatics should have at least little knowledge on this.

  The wing-back position was once the easiest role in the game of football, but recently it has grown to become the most demanding. It used to Ben a safe abode for lazy players, however, new tactics emerged and everyone have to contribute to the progress of the team, meaning wing-backs now have to double up.

   Full backs, as others call it, is now a sort of inverted winger, leaving the original wingers to choke the opposition’s midfield/final third. They move into the role of a central midfielder for advancement and operates as a deep-lying play makers.

 The original wingers are left with the work of scoring as they have enough service from the flanks and of course deep from their half.
