I’d say you have described acceleration, not speed there.Don’t know about that tbf. A short burst of pace over a short distance can still open up opportunities eg Sterling’s cross to Gundogan v Villa. Or someone pacy making ‘ghost runs’ in behind, off the ball and off the shoulder of a marker, can still induce a bit of chaos, keep the defender honest and distracted and create space elsewhere even against a low block
Look how ineffective Usain Bolt is is when playing football.
