Have you watched a football match and wondered what really goes on once the cameras are off? Sometimes, it is not all about kicking the ball! Consider the story of Harry Maguire and some “dark arts” of the game. But, hold on, it is not as dark as it sounds!
Let’s say that one is in the game and his coach decides to take him off. Harry Maguire really got his sit-down after being subbed against Chelsea. But the really interesting stuff ensues afterward.
Harry Maguire Meets Dark Arts
Sometimes, tags of subtle favors for the team from the sidelines are done by players while walking away to the dressing room, and the “dark arts” is what one might call these actions. It is not about harming the team; rather, it is about employing one’s brain to assist in the winning kind of secret agenda!
Harry Maguire Intangible Footage
Recently, there came out some secret video footage of Harry Maguire sitting on the bench post being subbed off. The footage shows him practicing dark arts to a certain extent. He was up there with the lads, either giving them advice or distracting the opposition as if he were on!
Harry Maguire’s Football IQ
The “dark arts” are other terms for “football IQ,” meaning how well-prepared a player is for the game. Football is just kicking that ball and standing still, so it is important to know what is going on out there on the field, read the situation to make a wise movement, and help the team in whichever way possible-Harry Maguire has a high football IQ.
Authors Opinion
That is what was said to have upset Maguire on the bench, but it was actually a bonding moment for the team. The team had to win; Maguire’s whole heart was on it from the bench. Like that good friend who comes in to help out, albeit not directly involved, there are roles to be played for all in a team sport. Dark arts carry that sort of respect with them. Players like Harry Maguire never stop thinking.
