Pace is essential. There’s no substitute for speed in modern-day football.
While defenders might use it for a last-minute recovery tackle on an opponent, forwards use it during counter-attacks to push the opposition onto the back foot.
In the ever-so competitive Premier League too, the importance of natural speed and that burst of pace is second to none. No wonder managers and clubs are always on the look out for pacy wingers and wing-backs.
