flux

that particular moment is very important. the right moment.

i think goals are scored when there is a flux. there must be movement. there must be changes in the position. like when a player is outside, waiting to cross the ball in. if he holds up the ball for too long, or when his teammate gets into position too early, the moment is lost. over.

i think it is more difficult to score when you cross to someone who's already in that position for a while, rather than someone who just gets into that position. of course a while could mean only a matter of 1 or 2 seconds, but this could be everything.

flux is important because it catches the opponent offguard. at that instant, the equation changes to your favour. that is the underlying principle behind movement off the ball. otherwise, if your people are already in position when you deliver the ball, the defenders are basically already prepared to deal with the situation at hand. and more often than not, they will come out tops. so, the movement is very important.

but then, goals can also be scored when there is an apparently a lack of flux. like when time suddenly freezes and then a person shoots. but when you think about it, rather than this being "anti-flux", it really is flux itself. from static to motion.

so there must be a change of state, that is the conclusion.

i guess it is thus naive to think that we can cross the ball any time, and we can get into the position anytime to wait to head the ball in and expect to score.

naive thinking.
