short Interview with Heiner Backhaus who played for the German u21 and many professional teams at a high level and is now a football coach in Germany in the 5th division.
Nedved was some player. A good coach should be a player first. You can’t be a book coach an expect to know what a player sees before he ever touches the ball. You have to play to know that. Plus player vision gets better the longer you have played. So want to get vision you should be a player for a while first. I just saw a girl score a goal off the kick off. I posted it has to be touched two times first. By the kick off player and a team mate or by an opponent. It was a goal because they changed the rule a few years ago. Why was the rule changed now ever rule change is to promote more scoring. How is that change going to promote more scoring? It just means the keeper has to start the kick of on her line. That won’t get you more scoring. Want more scoring do more skill work on the practice field that will get you more scoring.
Changing the kickoff rule was done to reflect the reality of the game. A lot of teams just touch it and pass it backward anyway. It just simplified things. It's a minor rule change, no need to debate it.
