Because its the only way to be classed a footballing side. Doesn't matter if your players aren't quite good enough to carry it out and end up losing it or often passing it back to the keeper to hoof.

Without it you are proper old school and we dont like your sort around here.

Barca for a while were beautiful at it to be fair, but I do cringe a bit when 90% of teams try it. Thought man city were usually decent but otamendi was just far too casual and over confident and I enjoyed that goal.
