    You're confusing fighting with football.

    Thats body building not football.

    That theory has never applied to football.

    Championship level we need height that's a fact ... I remember losing to wolves 3-1 at home last season and they had a team of giants totally bullied us .. can't hurt to have some monsters

    And Ronaldo.
    As good as Messi is - if him and Ronaldo marked each other during a match.
    Ronaldo would still be effective during that match.
    I don't think Messi would be.

    More importantly - why has Hecky shifted the emphasis from last season - from fast players - to fast stronger, bigger, more athletic players ???
    There is a definite trend in that direction.

    You don't think that being small and agile as a result has any benefit whatsoever in football?

    Players that haven't benefitted from being small and agile : Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Neymar....the list is endless
