No this is daft.
I look at old footballers even "greats" like Pele and George Best, and think when is someone going to tackle him? not just let him jog through like a pit pony?
In top clubs now everyone is an athlete they have to be at their physical peak, and the coaches' job is to try and keep them there for as long as they can, and that includes knowing when to rest them whether in training or for matches knowing full well that if they go beyond it that's where injuries come in.
I look at football pre 90's and find it funny how unfit they look, more like the pub players of today.
That video.
Funniest.
