The article explores the art of the fall back kick, known in German as the 'Fallrückzieher', as defined by former professional footballer Klaus Fischer, who famously described the technique in detail. He emphasized that the execution requires not only skill but also a great assist, pointing out that both the striker and the assist provider contribute to a successfully executed kick. Fischer, now 76, reflects on his experiences, including playing for the 1. FC Köln, further connecting his past to the present by appreciating the artistry in modern football.

The focus of the discussion shifts to an event during a recent match where Köln's current striker Ragnar Ache executed a spectacular fall back kick against Hoffenheim. This occurrence demonstrates both the persistence of traditional skills in contemporary football and the ongoing lineage of talents within the sport. Fischer’s observation serves as a reminder that football continues to evolve while retaining the beauty of its historical techniques, now exemplified by young players like Ache.

In addition to praising the striker's capability, the article highlights that the assist from Said El Mala was equally essential for the success of the goal. The piece captures the essence of teamwork in football, suggesting that knowledge shared between generations, like that of Fischer to the new players, enriches the sport and reminds fans of its deep-rooted traditions.
