Ever since the beginning of civilization, the human race has been enticed by speed. The world of football has not shied away from speedsters either. In a game that is fiercely physical, speed is literally everything in football, as it provides attackers with a great a advantage over defenders, potentially leading to a match-deciding moment. We often find it fascinating to see players race past defenders with blistering pace. It’s a pulse-raising moment that remains fixed in our minds long afterwards.
