This article was the last to be published and make the TOP 5 list. It was published in April but this did not prevent it from getting an impressive number of reads. We expect to see increasing interest in this text among football fans. It can be still one of the texts dominating this ranking at the end of 2021. It would not be an accident, after all, the article breaks down the first aspect of possession during a football match.
