Why is it that when any team nowadays is defending a corner or free-kick in their box they bring EVERYONE back.
It always used to be the case you'd leave one striker up on the halfway line and the opposition would then have to drop two players back to watch him. Which means they've got one less player to attack the ball in your box from the free-kick.
It is just the fashion that every team does this nowadays? Or is there some genius tactical reason for it that I don't understand?
