Passing the ball backwards

Nowadays many players are too concerned about getting rid of the ball too fast.

They do not look up and see what openings/plays are possible but rather pass the ball.

Get rid of the ball.

Getting of the rid of the ball is becoming today's "passing".

So no one can say they lost the ball to the opposing team.

Further many times they pass ball back towards their defenders or their goalkeeper.

In my opinion :-

1. They do this, because they don't want to be the one who loses the ball.

2.  By passing the ball backwards, they must realize that it breaks the flow of play. The opposing team gets a breather to regroup.

3. How many times have you seen a back pass to the goalkeeper nearly creating an opportunity of a goal for the opposing team?

4. Passing the ball backwards should be the last option, now it is the norm.

5. Further how many times have you seen players passing the ball back to their goalkeeper, when they are in the opposition's half?

This type of football brings disrepute to the "beautiful game".

Please Managers tell your players to move forward, rather than think in terms of safety for no rhyme or reason.
