The game has shifted it is no longer enough to dominate the ball or to attack well.

"Seeing the video of Robert Sanchez telling the Chelsea fans to relax as it was only half time made me want to talk about something that has been on my mind for a while: why football stadiums are becoming more impatient more toxic and polarised. The pandemic changed our routines and it accelerated a transformation that was already happening in society: overnight our lives moved onto screens. We watched sport through devices we debated online we consumed information in fragments and importantly for this point we lived inside a constant stream of opinions. And with that something else grew"
