Description

As Michael informs us - in the beginning - the beautiful game almost completely revolved around the art of 'dribbling'.
So, as football continues to evolve tactically, how and why did we reach a point where many commentators are now asking: "Where have all the dribblers gone?"
The Athletic's Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme join host Ali Maxwell to explore...
Who are the best/worst dribblers in the Premier League, what even constitutes a 'dribble' and are coaches like Pep Guardiola really responsible for the apparent lack of dribblers today?
Plus, how many of Ronaldo Nazario's 414 goals were scored by dribbling the ball round the goalkeeper?
