Long throws cause damage

It’s baffling that more teams do not train a long-throw specialist after watching the success it can bring to certain sides. Iceland battled their way to the quarterfinals of the 2016 European Championship with Aron Gunnarsson causing chaos with his long hurls into the box, and Denmark appear to have their own in-house specialist. Only 60 seconds passed before fullback Jonas Knudsen launch an attacking throw into the box that led to the Danes opening goal. No matter what level, it seems that long throws cause anarchy amongst defenders and it makes you wonder why more teams don’t try it.
