raumdeuter: Nope. Suarez doesn't fit that fox-in-the-box description. At least not in the "original context" of that term I know! In fact, with the modern day footie, those sort of strikers are a "dying" breed. 2 Likes |

RuuDie:The term itself is actually quite loose. Because a fox In the box is a striker who's ultra sharp and intelligent in the area, and gobbles up chances like no man's business. Whether or not his usefulness extends to holdup and linkup play, assisting, dribbling etc is up in the air. Going by the first definition, Luis Suarez is a fox in the box. So is a striker like Inzaghi or prime Javier Hernandez. However, when you define a fox in the box as a poacher and little else, there is a problem as Luis Suarez is most definitely not JUST a poacher. 1 Like 1 Share |

Unlimited22: Spot on. There are many terms used in soccer, which may be interpreted wrongly by many. But when someone explains one needs to reason along. For example some players can be called "wing wizards", does it mean they just stay along the line without doing other things in other areas? They are called such, because they are genius in that area of the field. Ronaldo can be called a fox in the box, because of his skills that give him edge against defenders. We can then start analysing it one after the other. His movements off and on the ball alone in the box, is what donkeys like Morata will never have. Everything should not be turned to arguments but some people derive pleasure in arguing needlessly. 3 Likes 1 Share |

raumdeuter:Personally, I'd rather not have Luis Suarez described as a fox-in-the-box, but it's very possible a striker can combine lethal predatory instincts with strength and good linkup play etc. Just look at prime Sergio Aguero. Prime Luis Suarez. Strikers hardly score worldies from 25 yards out, yet there are target men who are slow and ponderous and rely on brute strength and massive aerial abilities and are excellent at bringing others into play. In my opinion, the term is quite loose. Anyone who is sharp and scores lots can fit that bill. 1 Like 1 Share |

Unlimited22: A deadly striker, a player who scores most goals in the box, not particularly skillful but scores a lot of goals. . Example: (Headline) Rasmussen: I’m a fox in the box. Morten Rasmussen has told Celtic fans the Parkhead club have signed an old-fashioned penalty box striker. http://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-fox-in-the-box/ Who will watch Suarez and say the bold about him |
