The article looks at professional soccer in Great Britain as of 2014. The author discusses the increasing use of laptop computers and complicated, statistics-based strategies by team managers in their coaching of players, citing examples including former Tottenham Hotspur soccer team manager André Villas-Boas. He suggests such strategies can be ineffective and difficult for players to absorb.
