Really interesting. The athletic requirements to become a top level footballer have increased significantly.
It has certainly changed in scouting over the last few years.

The prevailing narrative around increased injuries and player workload in elite football is wrong.
Players don’t play any more football than in the past. What has changed is a sharp rise in intensity of play.
Not more minutes, but each minute exerts more load.
