Football is changing. Andoni Iraola summed it up best when reflecting on his playing career that finished in 2016: “Probably, technically and tactically we were as good as the players we see nowadays but there is a physical side we would struggle with.”And no wonder. Just look at this:The English top-flight is getting faster and players are performing more actions at High Intensity each game. As Iraola alludes to, it is no longer enough to be an elite footballer.
