Former Torino star Diego Fuser slams today's possession football

Former Torino star Diego Fuser admits he's no fan of today's football.

Fuser fears wingers are being pushed out of the game.

He told La Stampa: "Over the years the way has changed to play. Once upon a time the wingers were fundamental, today we fall asleep because of the many touches the teams make. Too many.

"An important coach from my past," continued the former Parma and Lazio player, "said that in three passes you had to score a goal, now it takes you a quarter of an hour. It's almost a trend, with the goalkeeper who restarts the match action from the defenders...

"So seeing Bellanova running all over the flank, reaching the end of the pitch and then producing five assists takes on even more meaning."
