Who says Brazil has stopped influencing the football world?

Not content with having gleaned five World Cups and released a thousand magnificent players, the Brazilians more or less invented ten years ago a practice that has become as frequent as it is unbearable on our fields, as it was rightly said. our colleagues from

 : the guy lying behind the wall on a free kick. An aesthetically filthy technique since it reduces the player to the rank of carp caught the day before at Lake Daumesnil for a questionable although a priori dissuasive effectiveness. Marco Verratti, in the front row to see Riyad Mahrez's free kick enter Keylor Navas' cage at PSG-City on Wednesday night, is absolute proof, this strategy is nase. Especially if the wall is as miserably mounted as an Ikea piece of furniture by a 7-year-old child drunk with variegation. Let's admire the bazaar together.

The Algerian international speaks of luck on his goal, but the images show neither more nor less than the work of natural selection.

What filth this Gruyère wall is.

What's the point of putting a guy down if it's to dance the YMCA over his head?

On the slow motion of the action, which makes us want to blow up walls like the colleague Aymeric, we realize that the ball passes casually between Paredes and Kimpembe.

How is it possible that such a poorly constructed wall emerges at this level, moreover on a free kick taken in such a dangerous area?

Good wall, instructions for use

- We protect the chin and parts, survival instinct obliges

- We do not respect barrier gestures, on the contrary, we hug each other

- We have the choice between: jump, stand on tiptoes, or stay standing

- We're not shying away.

If you have to take a CR7 firecracker in the ribs, you don't hesitate to leave your skin in combat (a little in contradiction with the first point, of course).

So many basic principles that any practitioner of king sport knows when he has played in a club or had fun forming a wall during a game with friends, which one wonders today if they are repeated in training.

The big yellow mannequins used to work the offensive free kicks have they put the real walls in unemployment?

If this is the case, it is urgent to put things back in order and get back to basics.
