Total Football: The Essence of Modern Tactic

Image
Hi guys, I would like to explain in depth to you guys about a revolutionary football tactic which is Total Football. What Total Football actually is and what are the key elements of it? Basically, Total Football is a style of football in which every player can play at any position on the ground. This style of football is mostly associated with Ajax Amsterdam FC and the 1970s Netherlands  national football team. Total Football is a style of football which gives total freedom to all the players to move around & play at any position on the field and this is why sometimes the defenders would end up at the striker position and the striker also can end up at the defender position. Switching on positions makes it real hard for the opposition to mark the players, the point of this is to ensure whenever a teammate leaves his position, another teammate would cover and occupy his position so that the overall shape of the squad formation would stay the same. For example, when a fla...

Madrid Can Seal Their Title

Image
Real Madrid’s three-year wait for a Spanish title could come to an end on Thursday when they play the second of their matches this coming week. Real Madrid can put the champagne on ice on Monday with victory away to Granada. That would restore a four-point La Liga lead over rivals Barcelona with both clubs having two games left to play. The title could then be secured on Thursday when Real host Villarreal at their Alfredo Di Stefano training ground while Barca must beat Osasuna to retain an outside chance. And even if Real stumble, they will have another chance to secure a first title since 2017 on Sunday. By Kamal Nizam

Fashion Rental During Covid-19

Image
With weddings on hold and summer holidays a distant dream, clothing rental has fallen dramatically since the pandemic began. It was seen as a more  cost-effective and sustainable alternative to shopping.   Several new British companies launched, loaning luxury clothes and accessories, and reporting exponential growth in their first years of trading.  H&M and Ganni were among the first retailers to begin trialling a rental model back in 2019, while several new platforms including  Hurr Collective  and  My Wardrobe HQ  have launched pop-ups in department stores over the past year.  Then the lockdown happened, shops shuttered, events cancelled, diaries cleared. Suddenly everything had to be vigorously disinfected and, as we were all holed-up at home for the foreseeable future, there seemed little need to change out of pyjamas. In the US,  Rent the Runway , the poster child for the fashion rental model, has already annou...

80's Fashion Trends Are Making A Comeback

From shoulder pads and oversized blazers to ruffles and the doorknocker earrings, it seems like everything was big in the 80s. Don’t even get us started on the  beauty trends of the 80s . Even though some of the  looks  should never resurface, many fashion trends are actually back  in style  today. Whether you’re surprised, excited, or horrified, 80s fashion has made its way to the 21st century.  Many '80s trends have resurfaced in recent seasons, both on and off the runway. Marc Jacobs inflated shoulders, Gucci brought back glitter and Tom Ford and JW Anderson added feathers to their ensembles. Celine, Louis Vuitton and Max Mara are a few of the  many brands that have reimagined the power suit. And neon, it seems, is just as popular as ever. Love them or loathe them, these trends are a clear sign that we're still obsessed with the '80s. The en...
