Scott McTominay, midfielder for the Scotland national team and Italy's Napoli club, shared his thoughts on how football has changed in recent years. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. According to the 29-year-old footballer, today's football has become much softer compared to before.

According to him, in his childhood, players were taught to play tougher and with pressure, whereas nowadays even the slightest physical contact on the field is punished with a yellow card. McTominay believes that modern football has become excessively cautious and sensitive.

He evaluated this situation as part of the modern style of play. This season, McTominay has appeared in 34 matches across all tournaments, scoring 10 goals and providing 4 assists.

At the same time, he received two warnings. These are indicators reflecting his playing style and effectiveness.
