Is it just a modern language and football? Or just “Jergon” wearing the dictionary of time-the game manager in new fantasy clothes?
From a “lot bloc” to the high pressure, the book of football phrases in recent years has obtained a new number of new numbers that have become part of the discussions before, during and after the games.
These words arose alone from their supporters to the past and the present, from the cynics that smoke their work, to the newer generation that embraces them as an integral part of the football experience.
Pat Nevin and Chris Sutton, the BBC Sport, who must decide which one to use or avoid them, has a clear opinion on the matter.
“I think the only verbal is used in every industry. It shows someone you’re at a small club. You say ‘We know these things’ and makes you look a little smarter,” said former Scottish striker Nevin.
“We are saying ‘we are in the club, we’re in information – you’re not’.
“For example, I might say that a team really defends depth, then add ‘or, as they say in modern language, a low bloc’
“It’s just a game of the game,” Sutton said. “They are just different words. Are they? I’m not someone who is very stuck in the past – but they may have someone I take and say.
So what are these modern terms? And what really do they mean?
