Because a team who is parking the bus gives up on playing static offense. If somehow they end in possession of the ball and the other team had time to position itself chances are it's gonna end up in a long pass to not lose their defensive stance. They're defending not to get the ball quickly to keep attacking, but to stall the other team. They pretty much rely on mistakes of the other team (or the referee) to score. This tactic is usually coupled with repetitive fouls to cancel any momentum the other team may build and piss off the other players, plus time-losing tricks if they score, depriving the mach of any fludity in the process. |
Sounds like Catenaccio to me.
Thanks for the explanation. The term is being used more broadly tough. It really feels like I hear it every damn match now.
