Now this I can agree with. Very much predicated on systems and automatisms to the point that a lot of football nowadays - especially at the top level - has become quite choreographed. It's still entertaining in it's own way, like becoming engrossed in a high speed game of chess, but the days of the spectacle with flair players and free-flowing football are rarer by the day. Teams have become much better but at the expense of the individual players being footballing greats in their own right. It's why nobody's even come close to Ronaldo and Messi for so many years. They're anomalies in today's football world. You could probably only put Mbappe and Neymar in the same breath at a push.Football has become boring with too much tactical control and less expression on the pitch.
