English football will limit the number of high-force headers in training to 10 per week from the 2021-22 season to protect players as part of new guidelines, the Premier League and other governing bodies said on Wednesday.

El Matador Cavani Continúa Sepultando La Maldición Del 7 En El Manchester United

Otro día más de oficina para Edinson Cavani y otro gol más para el uruguayo. Saliendo desde la banca, el Matador convirtió el tanto que cerró la victoria 1-3 del Manchester United sobre Aston Villa y que mantiene su demoledor ritmo frente a las redes rivales. De paso, sepulta la maldición del número 7 en los Diablos Rojos.

El gol en sí mismo fue una maravilla. Enseña la calidad de Cavani, su inteligencia al usar los espacios y cómo facilita la tarea de sus compañeros a la hora de habilitarlo. Ni hablar de su técnica al cabecear al balón.
